Smile Cancer vaccines - more info!

I know there is no cure and not many sure fire treatments
But this lady (Dr Nora Disis) is a real trailblazer (not to mention warm, kindhearted generous and smart as a whip)
Sixteen short years ago she gave me a series of breast cancer vaccines, in a clinical trial. ...and they worked for me and a few others on this site.

In 2 weeks, Dr Nora Disis is giving a virtual talk on Cancer Vaccines.
Maybe you or someone you know could benefit? Info below, link below that... (and PM me if you want or need additional info...)

Re: Cancer vaccines - more info!

Thank you for this information. I, too got a vaccine about 9 years ago from MD Anderson with Dr. Elizabeth Mittendorf. I remember Dr. Mittendorf speaking so highly of Dr. Disis and her work with vaccines. At first, I almost thought you were refering to Dr. Mittendorf as I would decribe her as kind and incredibly intelligent. I couldn't be more thankful and gratefulthat she was in my path.
