Here is a clip about a vaccine for cancer that has promise. This made me weep with joy and hope. I knew that several researchers have been working on vaccines in other countries, but this is the first I have heard of one here in the states. Roswell cancer institute says it may have this vaccine on the market in 5 years. Clinical studies have been approved. Phase one will start with a small number of patients and last a year. If the vaccine is deemed safe and effective it will move to the next phase and then on to the market. Keep your fingers crossed on this one folks. For those of us who live daily with the fear of recurrence this is a very big deal!

Merilee, have you signed up for the study?
ReplyDeleteI have sent a letter of interest. They are in NY for phase 1 but there is a very good possibility of it coming to one of the universities here in Michigan for phase II. I will beat their door down!
