As previously mentioned the PRESENT trial (Prevention of Recurrence for Early Stage, Node Positive Breast Cancer with Low to Intermediate HER2 Expression with NeuVax Treatment) phase 3 of the study was ended because of futility.
As my oncologist and the research RN let me know that when the results were unblinded they would send me a letter letting me know what group I was assigned to.
Drum roll please........
I received the placebo.
I'm not going to lie I was a bit stunned and oddly disappointed. I mean I got stuck in the thigh a fair amount and I even fainted that one time.
And then my brother had the worlds greatest response
"On the plus side it means your body is keeping you cancer free".
Yes, yes it does. Way to find the upside!
Now to hunt for other programs to enroll in.
