Could There Be a Vaccine for Breast Cancer?

Could there really be a vaccine for breast cancer in the near future? I have been hearing about this story quite a bit in the news. After successfully testing mice with a vaccine, there is great hope that breast cancer could be prevented in women.

Now that the mice have been tested it’s time to move onto human clinical tests. It’s believed that possibly next year they will be ready to begin testing on women. Now I do have to admit that I am always apprehensive about new vaccinations. The first thing that comes to my mind is wondering what the side affects are.

Personally I was very leery about the swine flu vaccinations that came out last year. Last year my children’s school was closed down for a few days because of swine flu being diagnosed in several children. Even then I just didn’t feel comfortable having them vaccinated. It’s probably something I really need to get over. I guess I have a hard time trusting.

So if a vaccine came out for breast cancer, I’m not entirely sure that I would get it. Breast cancer doesn’t run in my family. However I also realize that I could still get it. I guess I would just rather wait and see what the effects of the vaccine are first.

But I do know that this would be great news for women who are especially prone to breast cancer. Too many women are diagnosed and sadly, too many women die from this disease. It especially hits my heart when I hear of women diagnosed with breast cancer who have children. There is just something about a woman trying to take care of a disease and her family at the same time that really strikes a nerve.

Like many others, I would love to see breast cancer completely eliminated. I really do hope this vaccine is as promising as it sounds. I hope that it can wipe out the disease safely.
