We've scheduled her first dose of the Yale vaccine in a week, so we'll be taking a 5 hour road trip for that.

…it's been shown to be less effective than once thought. Most oncologists will say don't bother. There are now good immunotherapy options like the Yale Vaccine but they still require more than a handful of vet visits and many oncologists are using chemotherapy alongside it.

The thing about chemo

…if we want to do immunotherapy as well.  Our oncologist has suggested Elias immunotherapy - for some reason, I have a better feeling about the Yale vaccine, but I think I should trust the expert on this one.

…you so much for the kind replies.  I think we will go through with the amputation and chemo, and possibly try to pursue the Yale vaccine if we're able to get into the clinic closest to us (still five hours away).  Replies to your questions below:

Not some good news. It

how many dogs similar to Kaiser's case have you tried this on, and what was their response?
how is the response to Dasatnib as opposed to the Yale vaccine alone? what have you experienced in your own patients?
What kind of side-effects might be possible?
Can you point me to any other studies

 I had posted in another thread on Kaiser's amputation recovery a few months back and I want to provide an update on Kaiser's chemo treatment and Yale vaccine treatment.  So far Kaiser is doing fantastic!  He has had 4 rounds of 6 carboplatin treatments and the two injections of the EGFR/HER2 Yale

I'm glad you mentioned the Yale vaccine to your vet. I hope more people do so that treatment can be more widespread and costs can come down (it's quite expensive). For now,

Did you ever get a chance to talk to your vet about the Yale vaccine?

The Yale Vaccine is well known, legit, 100% scientific and not woo-woo, and so far, looking very promising. Like anything there are no guarantees. It's…

I have been looking into getting him on a clinical trial of the Yale vaccine. The closest one is in Chicago, which is about a 6 hour drive from where we live - it's not undoable but I was hoping for something easier

…with the marketing angles of boosting the immune system. Immunotherapy in the more evidence-based world is cancer vaccine therapies like the Yale Vaccine. This is a well studied treatment that is shown to boost the odds of longevity, and has legit science behind it. Check out the link.

On Tuesday she just had her most recent scan for the Yale EFGR/HER2 immunotherapy study and there’s no sign of metastasis! They also let us know that at her next visit she would be eligible for a booster…

Our onco suggests this could be because they’re seeing waning immunity, but it is a good sign that their understanding of the treatment is
