Re: Are there any HLA neg. folks in vaccine trials out there?
Thank you Amelia. I did talk with my oncologist yesterday afternoon and he felt it was "reasonable" (to quote him.) I have to go back down to Mayo today for my plastic surgeon to check on this reconstruction so I will leave a copy of the email I received from the nurse in NC this morning detailing the records and releases she needs. In the email, she stated that I will then be randomized and she will contact me when I need to come up for a week to get everything going.
I know that you flew all the way to Washington to get yours. Since I have relatives in the Winston-Salem area, I decided to try this site first. It is about a nine hour drive from south GA, but there is one airline that flies out of Tallahassee (60 miles) nonstop to Charlotte. That will be the way I make most of the required trips I think.
Thank you again for your support.
Sandra
