Re: CNN Report Promising Cure Vaccine
Sounds tempting, doesn't it, to sign up. But we have no idea whatsoever about side effects and long term effects. Yes, if one has mets and is at the end of the chemo rope, one might consider signing up. But so far it has only worked in 6 mice.
It would be wonderful if it worked, though and I do hope they get funding and can start doing more tests. I read it's not just BC they are working on, but other forms of cancer too.
