Connie B Posted March 14, 2003 Posted March 14, 2003 THANKS KARMA, Karma, I just had to thank you for sharing that article on that vaccine. About 4 weeks ago I heard something on our nightly news regarding a Lung Cancer Vaccine. Well, low and behold I got on the internet and looked all over the place and couldn't find a thing on it. Then I thought, well...... maybe I was hearing things and wishful thinking!! Then about 2 weeks after I heard about the Lung Cancer Vaccine, they came on the news again and said they had a promising vaccine for colon cancer. Again, I couldn't find anything. SOOOO THANK YOU for helping me to know I wasn't hearing things!! Thank you thank you!! God knows I need all the help I can get sometimes!!! Just ask Dave G, he'll tell ya!! hehehee! Warm and Gentle Hugs, Quote
Karma1976 Posted March 14, 2003 Author Posted March 14, 2003 No need for thanks... glad it helped your sanity for your fear of you hearing things...hahaha this vaccine sounds like a great concept. I mean go figure....really smart scientists coming up with a vaccine being a really good concept..haha but you know what i mean. Quote
Peggy H Posted March 14, 2003 Posted March 14, 2003 Cell Genesys has been developing this vaccine for awhile - like other experimental treatments - for those that it's worked for - it's been a miracle! http://www.biospace.com/news_story.cfm? ... 120&full=1 Quote
Hebbie Posted April 16, 2003 Posted April 16, 2003 I've been trying to access the article posted from the Boston Globe, but can't seem to locate it. Anyone know how to access? It sounds worth reading!!! Thanks!!!! Quote
Jenny G. Posted May 4, 2003 Posted May 4, 2003 This is hopeful information. I too, would like to know more about the Boston Globe article if anyone can find the archived link or post a summary of the article it would be appreciated. Jenny Quote
