Dr Wei vaccine
Has anybody heard anything about this vaccine? I saw this on the Inspire website this morning.
There is a vaccine developed by Dr. Wei of Wayne State University which looks like it could be close to a cure. Dr. LoRusso at the Karmanos Cancer Center (affiliated with Wayne State University), who is the doctor conducting the T DM1 trial in which I am enrolled, will be the doctor bringing this vaccine to the trial level. I spoke with my local oncologist about it yesterday and he told me I should get into that trial as soon as available, it sounds more like a cure than a stopgap measure. At least I am in the right place, although I would rather be flying to Florida every 3 weeks than freezing cold Michigan. Whatever it takes.
Thanks,
Emelie
