University Hospital Breaks Ground In Cancer Vaccine Research.(Brief Article)
2001 JUN 20 - (NewsRx.com & NewsRx.net) --
Rebecca learned she had skin cancer on her son's fourth birthday.
"I was on my way out to pick up his birthday cake when I got the news and I thought, 'I'll have to put this on the back burner until tomorrow,'" Pruett recalled of January 20, 1999. "I couldn't think about it then. I had to organize my son's birthday party."
The 42-year-old woman who lives in Virginia said she didn't realize the severity of her condition until nine months later, when magnetic resonance imaging showed the cancer had spread to her brain.
"I remember looking at the nurse when she was telling me, and I remember my ears getting really hot," Pruett said. "That's the most scared I've ever been. I asked, 'Am I going to die?' and the nurse told me that melanoma is not curable."
Her cancer isn't cured. But an experimental vaccine has stopped it from spreading. She's been undergoing immunotherapy at the University of Virginia (U.Va.) Medical Center since June 2001.
"I'd usually have two or three growths pop up every few months, and then I'd have them surgically removed," Pruett said. "Mine were like cysts under the skin. They look like bumps that are bruised. They're bluish. I haven't had any new nodules in months," she said. "I'm very optimistic about this."
