Hi Lori and all
I too have been looking at vaccine and imunotherapy trials. I have just yesterday got a new onc who has had a 3 year sabbatical at a prestigious uk cancer research centre. He supported what Becky was saying about her 2 heart effects.This lead on to a discussion I posted a couple of weeks ago to try to find out if any sisters had signed up for the CEA or oncofetal protein trials that were news items on the board. These two proteins I believe target other factors that are common on a range of tumours, in fact the CEA protein trial is being used for pancreatic cancer in England at present but not bc.
