OVC Vaccine

[meganrogers]

I am constantly researching OVC treatments. I have not found that any of you have spoken about Merck's quest for a vaccine. They now have the Cervical Cancer Vaccine ( Gardasil) and are working on an OVC vaccine. They are in the second trial and need one more before the FDA approves. By giving it to patients with OVC in recurrence, they have prevented it from returning for two years. They are tweeking that and want total prevention. They have also been successful with prostrate cancer and as you heard last week, skin cancer. It does not seem that OVC patients are very vocal for our cause. If we write Merck and tell them how much we need the vaccine, possibly they could advance their study. There is such a loud voice for Breast Cancer, yet I never hear about a fight for OVC. We need to yell out for help.

I am aware of this info .. and posted this site days ago.  No one should be afraid to check out the site and read it for yourself.  We are all here to share .. can't imagine anyone reporting this as ranting to MedHelp.
