Full of Beans,

I am so glad to hear from you. I don't have any suggestions.

Like you, I have mets to the lungs. They were discovered in August 2010. I have been taking Xeloda and Tykerb. They have shrank some, but they are still not gone. Everyone at the oncologists office says my cancer is stable, but I want to be NED again.

Have been thinking about going back to the UW to do the T-cell vaccine trial. Like you, I participated in the peptide vaccine trial. I still have not heard if I had an immune response. Did they ever tell you if you had an immune response?

What kinds of treatments have you been getting?

Sorry to ask so many questions, I am just so glad to hear from you. The last time I talked with Stephanie a few months ago, I asked her if she had heard from you.

Amelia
