Hi my name is Marlene
My dear cousin was diagnosed with stage 4.
Just wondering if everyone was aware John Hopkins University has a vacine and surgical procedures that sound promising

Yes, my wife was originally a candidate in the Johns Hopkins vaccine clinical trial but after researching further (and molecular analysis of her tumor), we opted out. She actually had the PALB2 mutation which allowed folfironox (5fu) to very effectively attack the tumor. Participation in the trial would not be necessary and wouldn't have furthered their vaccine research since they were targeting a different (more common) set of mutations.
