Becky,
Very interesting. I am getting the her2 vaccine at U of W and they inject a small dose of GM-CSF with each vaccination "to enhance the effect of the vaccine." I wish I had known about leukine before I had neulasta. Now, all my WBC are in normal range 9 months post-chemo. Hope that is a good sign.
I have always wondered if these "booster shots" increase the chance of developing a lymphoma later on.
