  Thanks for posting Brian!!! Back in the summer of 2013 when I progressed to stage 4, I contacted the clinical coordinator for this trial in Boston. I am not sure if it is the same vaccine as they were going to use back then but it will be nice to see result in 2019 if the concept works. The company that is part of the development " Wyss" put out this article link back in 2013. https://wyss.harvard.edu/cross-disciplinary-team-from-harvard-university-and-dana-farber-cancer-institute-brings-novel-therapeutic-cancer-vaccine-to-human-clinical-trials/
