        I was diagnosed stage 3, but I don’t know what letter. I am a52 yr old female in good health otherwise. My primary was on my foot, and several left groin lymph nodes were affected. The primary was removed and all my left groin lymph nodes. I am starting adjuvant treatment next week. I am very interested in hearing about the supplements you take and any diet changes. PLEASE let me know. I would also like to hear about this vaccine.

              Ok, I am getting very confused. I thought MD Anderson was a very good cancer treatment center, one of the top places in the country. Nothing was said to me about vaccines or any other drug other than interfuron, biochem, or braff. I was told that Braff was in a trial for stage 111…NED. I might get the drug or I may get a placebo. No mention of PB1 or anything else. I was just diagnosed in Feb. 2013. So I don’t know much about any of this. I thought I was doing the right thing to try to prevent any cancer coming back.

                          Thanks so much for your input. It makes me feel like I am going in the right direction. I do not know if it low dosage or full strength. My husband is going and staying , but I did not expect him to stay with me. He reserved a room in the hotel connected to the hospital. Should we rethink this? I know he will stay with me, but I just think of how uncomfortable he will be in that little “chair bed”. Do you think I will be able to fly home the day I am released? It’s an hour flight.
