hi diane! know the feeling, 2 many questions, 2 much empathy, just leave me alone, i managed to forget i had cancer for 5 minutes! nevertheless, its great to be looked after on those hard days! now that my hair's grown back everyone tells me how young i look: great! for 59 years i've looked old! will leave it short tho anyway, its grown back all curly! never had a curl in my life, dead straight, even a perm was useless! the trouble with the vaccine is, its still experimental, not proven at all:what if it actually makes u worse?! i'm not sure they give it to people in my situation, in remission; either that or i had to start it immediately after the chemo! my onc doesnt have much faith in it, i know i mentioned it to him months ago. the trouble with all these clinical trials is u cant get the results for years! i've been following several new things & noone will tell u the intermediate results, did it help anyone, is it worse than taking nothing, is it worth the hassle.....when i asked for ip which became standard therapy in u.s. in jan. he said the side effects are major, they tried it in europe & didnt find it worth it. on this note i leave u, hope u feel fine after this chemo & keep in touch, harriet
