Re: clinical trial participation
The trial is run through The Tumor Vaccine Group at the University of Washington in Seattle. If you go to their web sight it has all the info on the trial. The basics of it is a peptide based vaccine that boosts your immunity and destroys any new cancer cells.There are a lot of people from with support group have been through this trial. It is a phase II and since i have been on it I feel great. You have to still be on herceptin for the duration of the trial. http://www.tumorvaccinegroup.org
For me i feel like this is part of my icing on my cake which finishes of what a think has been a great treatment plan.
Regards Jacqui
