New Vaccine trial

Lauriesh · 07-21-2011, 03:57 PM

I spoke to them about the trial, and found out that if I decide to do it ( I am stage 4, and NED for 5 months) I will have to stop Herceptin and tykerb for 3 months, while I am getting the vaccine.

I am not sure what to do. I want to do the trial, but am nervous about stopping treatment for 3 months.

any opinions?

Just my $0.02, but it seems that your current regimen of Tykerb + Herceptin is working splendidly! if you are stage 4 and now NED, you can't ask for better response than that.

I would be reluctant to come off of a regimen that you know is working for one that you hope will work. Obviously, your doctors can give you the best advice, but I would think twice about coming off something that seems to be working so well.
