Florida Woman Recovers from Breast Cancer with Trial Vaccine
A Florida woman is healthy again just months after being diagnosed with breast cancer, thanks to a new trial vaccine that is showing success against the deadly disease.
“I was healthy,” she told Fox 35. “That’s why I was mad. I was stunned, and everyone around me was more mad and more stunned.” “It’s supposed to stimulate a patient’s own immune response so that the immune cells like t-cells would go in and attack the cancer,” Dr. Saranya Chumsri, one of the Mayo Clinic doctors, told WLTV.
Mercker also underwent a double mastectomy to ensure that the cancer was fully out of her body, but she’s now doing well, just 7 months after she was first diagnosed. Mercker said she’s amazed at this breakthrough, and hopes the vaccine can help more breast cancer patients.
