Connie B Posted March 14, 2003 Share 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!

Peggy H Posted March 14, 2003 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
