Re: Questions - vaccine

Eva I would ask your oncologist for a referral to any place that is close by that may offer you something. I still have 5 months of Herceptin and asked my Oncologist about trials and she said that there is nothing out there for me right now while I'm in treatment and responding well to it, however once I'm done with herceptin in February of 2015 then she will send me to Standford to meet with doctors that run these trials and see if there is something for me.
