Hello Myra Lynn and group!

The vaccine trial in Washington requires the participant (patient) to be receiving Herceptin during the 6 months of their participation in the trial, so it looks like you won't be eligible for that one.

Unfortunately, I don't know anything about the Cleveland Clinic trials, but I would love to hear more about what's being done there. I will look around and see what I can find out.

What you might find useful is contacting the American Cancer Society where there will be a person available on the phone to direct you to the website that lists all current trials related to breast cancer. It will take a bit of searching, but the Cancer Society will help you. Also, there should be some help for you at your cancer clinic from a Social Worker who can direct you to the appropriate resources in your community to help you with the search.

I will let you know what I find out about the Cleveland Clinic.

Have a lovely day and congratulations on nearing the end of Herceptin! Good luck with your scan, I'll be thinking of you!
