Morrigan - Thanks for more details re your situation and knowledge of these vaccines. I'm trying to keep something of an eye on what's going on with them.
Zen - I agree that even if some of us aren't able to benefit, it will be really nice to have something for those down the road. When Bio n Tech created their Covid vaccine, they said they also had some breast cancer things in the works that might be ready in 3-5 years. Well, that was about 3 years ago now, so I'm watching for more from them. I did see where the NHS vaccine being tested (noted in the post a couple/few above this) is connected to Bio n Tech in some way, but apparently breast cancer is not involved at this point.

"How did your trial work out! It's my understanding that the vaccines being touted these days are for triple negative and nothing for ER positive, but not totally sure. "
So far, so good. I'm 4 years out from my DMX and 2 years out from completing the trial. It was a Phase 2 trial, only 115 participants and obviously still early in the cycle, the intention was as a prevention for recurrence, not prevention for cancer at all.
My understanding is the preliminary data is very promising but, nothing has been published yet (probably in 2-3 years).
The vaccine target HER2+ breast cancer, there are quite a few vaccines in trial for Triple Negative and HER2+ but, I do agree I haven't seen much for ER+/HER-

Just hoping we have "something" out in the next 5 yrs. Not just for us but all that could be impacted in the future.
