Dr. Sue mentions on her fb page that she will lecture on metronomics
sunday 7/15 at 2:00 pm at AVMA Convention... anyone going to Colorado? The page says you can join her for the lectures.. Not sure just how to join though???
I wish we could be there. Perhaps next year if the Foundation has the funds we will attend their gathering in Washington DC. Anytime you can attend a veterinary conference there are lots of interesting things to learn.
By the way, you should check out Dr. Sue & Dr. Dressler's video presentations, I think you will find them very helpful, they will probably provide answers to many of your questions. See:

Oh wow so you are going to the conference? Would love to hear more if that's the case. My guess is that Dr. Sue is giving her metronomics

Glad you have seen the videos. Unfortunately not a lot has changed in osteosarcoma treatments since 2012.
