[Ceesun]

Please explain what this is? Who qualifies? Is this given along with treatment? Thanks Ceesun

I know Michelle U did this, and Lolly and I can't remember who else...they had it in Seattle....there was also one in Washington DC...hopefully they will respond

There are many trials for a vaccine:

Ceesun,

I also particpated in the Univ of WA tumor vaccine trial. I believe you have to be originally diagnosed stage 3 or 4, and currently NED (or close). Here is a link to their trials. They were very helpful when I originally emailed requesting information. For the trial I am enrolled in, I had to fly to Seattle 7 times in a 15 month period. My last visit is next Friday.

I wish they offered these vaccine trials near me - did you have any side effects from the vaccines?

What do they mean by maintenance dose of Herceptin?
