- AfraserMemberSeems like there at least two - which is even better findings can be compared.
- primekMemberI found this old thread about someone who had a vaccine in Germany. It might be tbe same one just now doing Aust trials.

- PayneMemberThanks ladies for posting those links. Very interesting. Doesn't say when they intend to start human trials. Does anyone know?
- CassinaMemberalso glad to see Australia is leading the way! even in the time I have been receiving treatment we have moved ahead, Herceptin SC is great and only takes 5 mins, much better than having intravenous drip
- CassinaMembersounds promising, lets hope each day they are finding new treatments for this horrible cancer
- sandramjMember@Cassina from what I gathered it’s an immunisation to kick your immune system in to fight this particular HER somehow. Sorry not very technical ;
- CassinaMemberis that true? or fake news? a vaccine would be great, I think it is a while away since we are only just using Herceptin SC
- SoldierCrabMemberoh wouldn't that be nice ....... such a simpler way to deal with it. jab your done .... I pray it is a long term solution for many.
- iserbrownMemberIt's a story on TV news this morning - still awhile away
