Re: don't remember if I posted this during ASCO--good results for her2 vaccine
Oh Anna 4969, finally someone else in my GP2 arm! I'm so glad. When I first signed up only a few women were trying the vaccines - and none in the Walter Reed that I could find. I was happy to have the company when Sandra enrolled.
I feel much better. The side effects were pretty severe on me at first, but I suspect I really, really needed the vaccine. I had terrible headaches and a big local response. I learned to have my Tylenol handy.
It is exciting to see preliminary data coming in that shows a difference between the vaccine and the GMCSF only.
Best of all - we get to be part of finding a treatment that actually PREVENTS cancer! Yeah!
