…supplement discussion definitely has me leaning toward a pure and simple NASC approved fish oil after June’s done with chemo and the burn in for the Yale vaccine. For the record, I looked at the packet of the Purina Joint Care supplement I picked up for her a while back and it is NASC approved.

…so great. June’s never really been into plant material other than grass, but after watching that video with Ranger’s story that you linked in the Yale Vaccine blog post, I’m inspired to try that fellow’s approach of beginning with cooked (some of which I know she will eat!).

…- I was about to suggest reading up on some of the vaccines but Buddy already has had his amputation so that might be out, saying that though, Yale vaccine might be an option still, but I don't think Torigen or ELIAS are. I did carboplatin chemo with Ellie, but she was only prescribed 4 treatments, the

Specifically, for the Yale vaccine study (read the Translational Oncology paper here), there are certain human cancers that have poor outcomes where the tumors have a mutation that…

…and hard to treat (like osteo).

But not all dogs' and not all humans’ tumors have this overexpressive mutation (EGFR/HER2) which is why the Yale vaccine doesn’t always work, or work as well in every dog and so part of the trial is also understanding who benefits and who doesn’t, and why.

…a fantastic update! Congrats to Juno on becoming a Dog of Science! 

I remember when Jerry first posted about the Yale vaccine that there weren't locations near Yale to get it! It's also odd to me that Yale developed a vaccine for dogs when they don't have a vet school. I'm

…Today was a big day for the June as she officially became a “Dog of Science.” We’ve been calling her “Candidate Dog of Science” since she joined the Yale vaccine waitlist. But today, after a battery of tests, she was approved and received her first dose. Woot! 💉

9/26/23 - She’ll be going in on this day for her intro appointment to see if she’s eligible for the Yale vaccine and if so, will get the first of two doses on the same day. Send her your good vibes! ❤️

…like you and Rusty will be participating in what they are calling the "Experimental EGFR/HER2 Tumor Vaccine," which is otherwise referred to as The Yale Vaccine because that's where it was developed. We have a number of Tripawds members also doing this treatment so you are in great company!

It’s my

If the Yale vaccine is going to work, it will be working now. They say about six weeks before it reaches full effectiveness. Finally started the cyclophosphamide on

Nothing new vaccine-wise to add here - we're in an area with Yale vaccine availability and currently on the waitlist [fingers crossed!] while doing chemo. Sending you all the best vibes for your decision.

I specifically referenced ELIAS and Yale vaccines and what I’ve been told is essentially we don’t have access to them in Jacksonville FL. Our oncology team works with UF and something about the

Oh you also might want to check out our immunotherapy articles and podcasts. We don't have any about the Yale vaccine yet but these should give you some additional background on how the treatment can work:

Nicholas also went through both but I believe he is doing the Yale vaccine. I'm asking his mom to chime in here.

Wow. I'm embarrassed to say I didn't know this about the Yale vaccine, I just assumed it was like the ELIAS. And more than that, there's a study site 45min from us!! It looks like Juno probably qualifies, but I'll
