Re: Puzzled??
Dakini52 I recently applied to a vaccine trial and was rejected. The problem stemmed from my HER2 copies per cell being too high? I was told they were looking for a 3 or below when my copies per cell are 28+; this struck me as odd because it is a vaccine trial for HER2 patients and as we all know HER2 copies per cell vary widely in our personal pathology reports. I discussed it with my oncologist and she said she did not understand why the HER2 copies per cell would be a determining factor. I also believe that being stage IV put me past the level patient they are looking for which is stage 3 or less. It was an interesting process; didn't know you got paid to do clinical trials.
