Hi Lolly,

I am in Germany and completed the HERA trial here just over a year ago. Medical care here, while highly competent - I hope -, does not seem to be as active and personal as what women report on this site.

So far I have had no recurrences ( HER2+++, tiny primary tumor but affected nodes by the time it was discovered, lumpectomy, 16 nodes removed, 10 positive; doxirubicin plus taxotere given 3 times, then 6 weeks of radiation, then 3 more times and then I fought to get in the HERA study and was randomized into the one year arm), but I would very much like to know what the criteria are for getting the vaccine.

Thanks very much, and may it prove to be the miracle we all hope for,

Tessa
