Becky,
Thanks for keeping us informed on the latest trials. This one is really exciting.

I do hope some of our gals who qualify will get involved.

Go PA ( I grew up there).

I participated in this trial. Had no side effects and it ate all my DCIS/Her2/neu. Dr. Czerniecki wants to include invasive Her2/neu, triple negative and ER recpetor + in the next trial. Will keep everyone posted. Has had great results, trial designed to increase immunity, but they are finding the diseased areas are disappearing and less surgery is needed. In my case, it was all gone. In larger areas of DCIS, in one case it shrunk 98% in six weeks and he speculates if the vaccine were given longer, we might see the entire area clear.

Thanks, Shelley Dodt www.shelleydodt.com if anyone wants more info
