Hi Jacqui,

I am Stage IV. I had not even thought about the blood/brain barrier issue w/ the vaccine.That is certainly something to consider. Thank you for telling me about that. I conclude from reading your history that you did not have brain mets until after completing the trial. I'll bring this up with my oncologist.

BTW, I LOVE NZ! I visited a friend in Waihi on the East Coast and toured the S.I. about 7 years ago. Beautiful country!

Thanks for sharing your experiences.

Ann
