I hope that I'm not duplicating something that's already been announced here. A friend just sent me a link to this clinical trial:

 
My K isn't eligible. However, I've read that the concept of "vaccine" treatment for cancers is considered very promising by many physiologists. It might be worth checking it out for those of you who are eligible.

K, an 8 year old chocolate lab, was diagnosed with osteosarcoma of the radius and ulna on 12/23/11. She had stereotactic radiation to kill the bone tumors, and 3 rounds of carboplatin. On 3/16/12, lung mets were found. We tried several different kinds of chemotherapy to slow the lung mets but none worked. Finally, mets appeared at other sites, including her spine. She earned her angel wings on July 15, 2012. K changed my life, and I'll never forget her. Our/my journey is chronicled at romp-roll-rockies.blogspot.com.

Wow this is exciting.

Purpose

The purpose of this study is to determine whether a recombinant L.moncytogenes vaccine can elicit anti-tumor immunity and prolong survival in dogs with cancer of their long bones (appendicular osteosarcoma (OSA)).

No, you aren't duplicating content, but I did move it to "Tips & Resources" where we list clinical trials. Thank you for sharing!
