I've been reading about the seemingly great outcomes from the vaccines. I am due to be on Herceptin through the middle of next year. I've only done my initial four infusions, and have 13 to go after surgery this week. I then have AC through November, so I won't start Herceptin until after that. I'm wondering if there's a hope of my being able to get access to vaccine after, or if it's too early in trials to do so. I'd be willing to participate in a trial, if one existed. I think I'm +3 since I was overwhelmingly positive with aggressive tumor.

I'm currently getting tx at Dana Farber. I will ask my onc, but you all seem to be a wealth of knowledge. Thanks in advance!

TVG. Tumor Vaccine Group of Seattle. They have excellent vaccines and a great track record. Nora Mary Disis is the head of the clinic (I think) and she is highly-regarded.
