Re: Are there any HLA neg. folks in vaccine trials out there?
A VERY special "thank you" goes out to 'lizabeth! From your posting of the Walter Reed trial. I was able to get in touch with the nurse at Wake Forrest, the nearest site to me. After she checked with Washington to see if having taken lapatinib would exclude me, I got good news this morning. I can get in this trial! I have to get my oncologist's OK and then I will proceed (I only have until May.) As 'lizabeth knows, they have a vaccine they are giving to negetive folks. Of course, I may just get the GM-CSF, but I feel something is better than nothing. Thank you again 'lizabeth!!!
