Vaccine trial update
Just a little update from me. I have been out of the loop for awhile. Last post I was asking questions about a Her 2 vaccine trial. Thank you to everyone who responded or sent a pm. It means the world to me to be able to get advice from you!
I signed the consents, did the preliminary blood work last week. Today I went in for the skin test where they inject a small amount of the peptides in order to watch for reaction. I did great! No reaction at all so far. Three injections on the leg. On wed I return for the first set of full injections. This is the AE 37, GP27 with GM-CSF. Of course it is a blind study so i have no idea what I am really getting. If you interested in updates, send me a note and I will tell you how it goes!
