I would complain but this is the only center doing the immunotherapy for this. This researcher is the only lab making the vaccine from the individual T cells for early stages. Everyone else requires stage 3 or 4. Not that I want to be stage 3 or 4, but it just feels like I've waited so long, letting this darn thing grow while I waited to get into this trial. I contacted my oncologist who ordered a new diagnostic mammogram to compare to the one from November. Really hoping we don't see much spread.....but? I still don't know what to do. I will give the trial until the end of January to see how long the delay might be and then have to make some serious decisions. I'm just wondering if I should even give it two more weeks.....
