I am in the last year! Two more boosters, October 2013 and April 2014. It has been fairly easy. A little redness, soreness at the injection site and makes me feel "flu-like" the first day, otherwise easy enough. Are you finished?

Re: Col George Peoples, MD

I am a little over one and 1/2 years ahead of you in the trial, in the GP2 arm.

I had a robust response with the GMCSF, with large red areas and flu like symptoms for a couple days. The vaccine response - I don't know, but I will find out which arm I was in about January 2015.

I feel so much better since participating. I think my immune system needed a jump start after chemo. I was wiped out. I had a great experience with the nurses at BAMC (now SAMMC). Just feel really lucky to be able to enroll and fly out to San Antonio.

Scroll down and it shows that the AE37 vaccine is still Phase II, so I guess approval if & when would be 5 - 6 years.

E75 is the vaccine that has reached phase III for node positive.

http://www.galenabiopharma.com/pipeline#neuvax

I think I saw 2017 as a possible approval date in an online article.

Both vaccines are switching from high expressors to low expressors of Her2. I'm a little nervous that it won't be approved for us Her2 3+. The more treatments available, the better for everyone. And I will be thrilled to see this as an option for the 3Ns that are Her2 1+ and 2+.
