Re: Vaccine Participants - Check In

Finishing the six monthly injections in the:

"Prospective, Randomized, Single-blinded, Multi-Center, Phase II trial of the Her2/neu Peptide GPII + GM-CSF Vaccine vs GM-CSF alone in HLA-A2+ or the Modified Her2/neu Peptide AE37 + GM-CSF Vaccine vs GM-CSF alone in HLA-A2- Node positive and high risk Node negative Breast Cancer patients to prevent recurrence.

I'm in the GP2 arm and SandraGA is starting the AE37 arm.

I'm doing fantastic. There are short term side effects like headache and flu-like symptoms. After chemo it is like a walk in the park.
