Re: Phase II vaccine trial...looking for info
Oh I just saw the post. Im getting ready to fly back to San Antonio in the next 4 to 6 weeks for my booster in this clinical trial. I can't say enough good things about the Clinical trial nurse, Karen. She is just absolutely wonderful. An absolute joy to work with. I am in the GP2 arm, and I thought you might have already heard from my trial buddy in the AE37 arm.
Participate! The side effects are not like chemo. You'll have some raised red bumps likely at the injection sites, maybe flu like symptoms, headaches, itching - but nothing a bit of tylenol cant relieve. We both agreed that we physically felt better after participating, and we are helping progress treatments for breast cancer. Its all good. Since you are already in San Antonio it shouldn't be a big time commitment. Karen can explain it all - have you contacted her yet?
I'd be happy to answer your questions,
