Thanks for the link to this great news article. Those with dog diagnosed with mast cell tumors will find it especially helpful

I found http://www.webm.....ive-cancer

And I've been researching the stock market a little in an effort to start something for retirement and I've stumbled across several very promising announcements from several companies that are on the verge of releasing new cancer treatments that are doing very well in the clinical trials. I'm still not sure about investing in a company based on their cancer research, but I was very happy that there are going to be some new treatments available.

And Tigger is doing fine. 🙂

As is usually the case, Dolittler went into much more detail about this new FDA approved cancer treatment for dogs than Yahoo and Fox News ... big surprise. Winker
