Hi Julie,
I was diagnosed IIIB! I would like to participate in the PA trial (look at my post's on the clinical trial messageboard). I wrote to Dr. Peoples who is conducting the trial. At the present time, you cant take Herceptin at the same time. You have to stop 2 weeks before you start the trial. He has filed with the FDA to use both Herceptin and the Vaccine together. However, God only knows when he will get approval.
I am currently going through radiation and taking Herceptin. When radiation is complete I will ask my Oncologist how long I will stay on Herceptin.
