I just listened to the vaccine podcast with triple negative breast cancer. My wife has metastatic triple negative breast cancer that went to her brain. She is a year out of brain surgery and is doing well. I’m thinking she isn’t eligible for any vaccine trials because we have looked into all of the available trials.
