…that's expected).  She also had her first round of chemo yesterday, and seems to be handling it well.  

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 is that

There's not really a lot of data on either, but it seems that the Yale

…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 sounds

…:

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 that

…anyone had their Tripawd on Dasatinib?  I posted in other threads on our 6 year old dobie Kaiser's amputation and chemo and Yale vaccine treatments.  Kaiser received his final round of carboplatin yesterday 1/6/25 and is doing well, bloodwork is normal and no lung mets.  He has a…

…option.  We are trying to decide if we should pursue this treatment option or wait to see how he is doing over the next few months and then get the Yale vaccine booster at 10 months.  Any advice/support would be helpful such as experience with side effects, efficacy etc.   Thanks again for all your support

 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 vaccine

…recommended podcasts or guides on nutrition and holistic meds … as we begin to reach the end of the road with traditional medicine options (we did Yale vaccine, chemo and now Gilvetmab). Anywhere you could point us to would be appreciated as we focus more on that front and prepare for the next chapter. 

…makes us ALL stronger! 

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, follow your

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

…are seeing progress each day.  Also, we started chemo(carboplatin) yesterday and so far no side effects.  Also, he received his first EGFR/HER2 Yale vaccine injection.  I will make posts in the Chemotherapy: How Did Your Tripawd Handle It? feed to note his progress and can post in the EGFR/HER2 Yale

…checking in with news that Juno is still cancer free and last week received a booster of the immunotherapy for the Yale vaccine study. Yay!! 💥

We celebrated with a woodsy getaway this weekend - June always comes alive in the woods. 🌲🌲🌲

… your sweet Cupcake is so lucky to have such a great mom like you! It's wonderful she is doing so well.

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 expensive,…

… but it appears to be the most promising treatment yet. Here is an article we posted about it:

Really glad to hear Cupcake's mojo is coming back!

…given at 3 weeks apart, then monitor with xrays every 3 months after that. 

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.

…all - just wanted to post a quick update on Nova!!

He no longer wanted to go on walks; no more doggie smiles or tail wags

With the surgery and chemo (plus the Yale vaccine), I was hoping for a year or more (his surgery was in September); we did get an extra month with prednisone

Thank you to forum members for their

…she get more SRT at some point or is that it for now?

What clinic in SLC is she going to? So hard to believe there aren't any in CA doing the Yale vaccine! At least you and Nova get to have an adventure. It's a nice time to be in SLC, weather's nice so hopefully you guys can enjoy some of it.

…any issues yet. She is scheduled for her first chemo dose next Monday (May 20) followed by a trip from LA to Salt Lake for her first dose of the Yale vaccine. She hasn't left California before so she's excited about the trip 🙂

Thank you to all for being beyond generous with your time to date. We value

…wait 2 weeks following surgery to allow her to heal fully. We've read conflicts things on this point.

We will also strive to get a slot with the Yale vaccine and Torigen, but in due course. 

Here's to hoping the universe is on Nova's side.  

…). Some dogs do really well with SRT and live as long as a dog who has an amputation but no chemotherapy. 

4. Do we know if Nova receiving the Yale vaccine prior to amputation impacts the potential effectiveness of the vaccine?

That would be a question for the oncologist giving it. No idea and I'm
