Dear Lolly:
Congradulations on your good response. I just wanted to let you all know that Lisa sent in her first blood test after completing her 6th vaccine treatment and Dr. Disis advises us that she continues to show a strong immune response to Her2.
I do not know if you are aware, but Lisa had a recurrance after her 6th treatment in the scar tissue from an old tumor in her lung. The top portion of her lung was surgically removed (tumors were 3mm and 8mm). Pathology showed that the tumors were being invaded by two types of active t-cells, which were spotted both inside and outside the tumor. We sent tissue samples to Dr. Disis and are still waiting for the final results of some sophisticated testing, but we are hopeful that the tests conclude that the t-cells were attacking the tumor.
Hope you are doing well and that all of the women in the study are the same.
Brian
