On the way home from my last visit
I'm hanging out at the airport waiting for my last flight home from participating in the AE37/GP2 vaccine.
It is a bittersweet day. I will miss visiting my wonderful nurses, but I am happy I got to be in the trial.
Now it is back to real life and followup. I think the best part of this clinical trial is that I didn't have to wait it out after Herceptin, I got to do something active to help prevent cancer, and to advance cancer research.
I'm just one little person, but I got to participate in moving treatment beyond chemotherapy. And that ladies makes all the travel, itchies, headaches and fatigue totally worth it.
