Re: Mayo Clinic Vaccine Trial MUC1/Neuvax
Hi lizbeth,
I'm so out of the loop living isolated like I do! I didn't know there were trials for stage I and II. I'd also like to prevent a recurrence. What are the risks with this trial?
I am 7 months from chemo but still on herceptin until Oct. 8. Does that qualify?
I don't know if you have time but I'd sure like to know what this trial is about, and what phase they are in. When will it be available to all her2+?
My dad used to fly just about everything...we owned a Fairchild when I was young. Generally he flew Cessna turbo charged planes but he loved Mooney's. I tried to get my license but my eyes are too poor. He got his seaplane license as well and his twin engine license. I think it's great that you fly! PLease keep me posted on this trial,
Dianne
