Re: Vaccine "cures" Her2 in mice

Thanks Deena! I could not find Dr. Wei's email but I did email the hospital about it. They were vague on the delay but it did sound like funding was part of the issue. I asked for more specifics to see if there was anything I could work on with regards to fundraising. They said that they would forward my email to Dr. Wei but I never heard back. I would hate to see a delay due to lack of funding. It sounds similar to the challenges faced with Herceptin. If it is purely funding we (the Her2 community) should work together in finding funding either through corporate donations or something else. There must be something we can do to help. I just wish we had more info on the issue (i.e. What amount of funding is needed?). All the best on your vaccine trial. If you don't mind, I would love to hear more about your experience with it going forward.

Take care,
Cat
