Re: BC Vaccine – Looking for your Thoughts

Whoa there! Krisvell - I just read the Phase I Sloan Kettering trial was for Stage IV metastic patients who have a life expectancy of less than 6 months. I read your history and it looks like you just finished primary treatment.

The Walter Reed vaccine trial is the one that SandraGA and I participated in. It is for folks like you who just finished Herceptin in the last 6 months. So don't wait - get on the phone and start the enrollment process. Time goes by fast and I wouldn't want you to miss this opportunity.

Both Sandra and I agree - we feel soooo much better after participating in this vaccine trial.

I know the Mayo clinic also was offering a vaccine trial for primary breast cancer - BUT! you have to enroll within 3 months after finishing Herceptin.

Let me know if I can help,
