Thanks for all the effort you went th', I think it is very kind, what a good idea. I also like the fact that he is in such agreement about the importance of diet (often not very recognised by Dr.).
But not sure I agree with his response on lack of results for Her2 vaccination! Although I agree past results have been very poor but perseverance is the name of the game.. I personally think that it is the future of cancer treatment, immunological response is a beginning..ability to target is being improved and tunned, Her2 cancer have a slight head start..(at least this is what I beleive)
Take care ands thanks again
