Re: Her2+ vaccines - has anyone who is stage IV had a cure?

I did the univ. of wash her2 vaccine 2 years ago, and I am still Ned. It is hard to say how much it is the vaccine or the herceptin. I do take breaks from treatment, as I am also having increased side effects, but I still get 7 or 8 doses of herceptin ( and perjeta with it for the last 6 months) a year.

Good luck with finding the best one for you.

Laurie
