I found out today that I was accepted into the clinical trial for the breast cancer vaccine to prevent reoccurance! Yay! My immune markers (HLAs) were the ones the study was using so I officially have been accepted. Below is more information about the study from a CBS Boston piece (featuring my oncologist). I'll start after radiation is done.
66% done with microwaving! I met with the radiation oncologist on Wednesday and when she saw that the entire radiated area was pink she said "Good. Now we know it is working." My thoughts exactly. In the Valentines day spirit the area has turned more red and is kinda heart shaped. The red area is from under my clavicle to the bottom of my rib cage with a rounding underneath my armpit and a couple of inches onto my back. Added hydrocortisone cream to the Jean's cream regimen to relieve the little bit of itch. It's like having a mild sunburn.
