Re: I am on the Vaccine in Washington would like to chat with anyone on same vaccine
Hi Didi,
I have just finished Herceptin and am waiting to discuss the results of a PET/CT scan. Assuming I am OK, I was interested in the vaccine trials. I think that being pro-active is a good idea for me and recent press from the Cleveland Clinic looks promising.
Are the trials in Seattle part of the same study?
Any information that clarifies this would be most appreciated.
