Hi all & Belinda,
I recently researched a lot about vaccination and from what I remember I also found that it was mostly for later stages (3&4). But then again it was the one I was looking for.
Regarding the above E75, I seem to remember that one of the criteria was to NOT be on Herceptin , a risk I would have been unwilling to take myself.
Remember Belinda that it is great that you are not to be eligible! and I hope that you never become eligible and remain a NED from surgery on. It is very hard when you just found out and you must still be under shock but I think it is great that you are already enquiring about further treatment, that's the spirit! so well done.
All the best for the time to come it will be hard but as my uncle told me keep your head high and back straight; a good advice. Also perhaps try to follow advice on diet there are many on this site e.g. fish oil ect..
All the best
Kx
