Hi;

Thanks to the site and contact info posted by Lolly, I emailed Patty Fintak at paf3@u.washington.edu who handles the original screening of applicants for the vaccine trial there. I am now being considered for the vaccine given while taking Herceptin and have just received the authorization forms to release my medical records. Her phone number is 206 543-6620. My own question regarding vaccines relates to a question of "which vaccine trial is the most advanced/best one right now"? I understand from a post I read before that MD Anderson is currently offering a "three pronged" vaccine trial as opposed to the "one pronged" (??) one being offered at U of W. I am not sure what this means, if this trial is better or who to contact to ask. I am hopeful someone will answer this here. All the best to you. These vaccines sound wonderful to me!!!!
