2nd vaccine at Mayo tomorrow

Going for my 2nd vaccine at Mayo tomorrow. Happy to report, no side effects from the first MC1136 Her-2/neu Peptide Vaccine, except for 2 tiny welts at the injection site, which was delivered subcutaneously. Mayo is amazing and the drive from our home on the Wisconsin border through LaCrosse Wisconsin is beautiful.

Re: 2nd vaccine at Mayo tomorrow

Have a great visit at the Mayo Clinic and enjoy the beautiful drive.

So glad you are participating in this vaccine trial. Someday I may be able to walk into my doctor's office for a vaccine shot and you can say I made that happen! Awesome.
