Hello Buck and family,I got an email back from Wookie's oncologist today and it looks like we will be able to do the inhalation interleukin therapy.
Thank you so much for sharing this great news with us. I want to write a blog post about the treatment, so please keep us posted on how it's working for Wookie. Paws crossed for much success for your pup and Buck too!

Hi all, I was told I should repost this to anyone who may have missed this a few weeks back, and my apologies for my temporary silence or a repeat on this as I try to heal. And should this be of interest to anyone please contact me privately.
Eileen I'm so sorry to hear about Faye Raye, I didn't know. My heart goes out to you, please accept my condolences.
It is incredibly nice of you to offer your knowledge about the inhalation chemo treatment, thank you.

Thank you for posting, Eileen. I think it's important that pet owners are given all options so they can make the best informed decision for their pet.
I did send you an email... I hope you got it!
Right hind limb amputated 7/3/12 for OSA, started on alternating cycles of Carboplatin and Doxorubicin and oral Palladia. Single lung met 9/1. Met in the neck muscle removed 9/30. Large mass in sublumbar lymph node 10/2. Rescue chemo with ifosfamide 10/6. Mets to the rib and axillary lymph node 10/21. Started Leukeran and Pred 10/25. Wookie left this Earth for a far better place on 12/4/12. I miss you, Boo, you were my heart.
So much for your statement about "keeping an open mind" regarding our product Tumexal. Without ever requesting information from us about Tumexal, you tell people via your website not to waste their money on it. Tumexal works. Does it work every time? Of course not. But there are a lot of happy pet owners out there who are glad they did not take your advice. As for your statement that we claim that our other product, Preventil-7, will prevent cancer? Where did that come from? Perhaps you were speed reading and skipped most of our explanation about Preventil-7. We present the logic that since dogs are carnivores they lose natural access to a variety of plant phenols that are believed to have cancer preventative properties. We never claim that Preventil-7 can prevent cancer! Our logic is simply that Preventil-7 provides the plant phenols that we humans consume in the hope of preventing cancer, and make them available to dogs, who can't make that choice for themselves. (We also propose the hypothesis that dogs have 4x the cancer risk of humans for this same reason-- a natural lack of plant phenols in their diets). No cancer prevention study in man is possible. It would simply be too expensive, and the intellectual property issues regarding the natural products that would be the objects of such a study have no intellectual property protection sufficient to attract big pharma capital. However, CanineCare.US is initiating what we are calling "The Golden Retreiver Project." Since Goldens have one of the highest cancer risks in the animal kingdom, we are going to tabulate, over the next decade, the cancer incidence in Goldens taking Preventil-7, and compare them to age and sex matched control Goldens not receiving Preventil-7.
We believe that your negative comments about Tumexal, based on your misunderstanding of our Preventil-7 claims (of which there are none, just an argument for the logic of putting plant phenols into the canine diet), at the very least deserve an apology. Removal of your negative comments from your site, or publication of this rebuttal alongside it, would be acceptable as such an apology.

Really?
No apology is necessary here, unless you care to retract your attack on us for suggesting that people do their homework and fully investigate any cancer treatment they choose to try on their pets.

I looked into a clinical trial when Zeus was dx'd and after it had metastisized into his lungs. I was given some hope but I wouldve had hope anyway being I believe God is in charge at all times. Anyway, most clinical trials are funded by the drug companies, research facilities but this one wasnt. I have to mention it was being conducted with very reputable vets and facilities. However I wouldve had to pay 7,000 dollars for the drug injection in addition to the chemo. The chemo would definately be my responsibility but this is where I had the problem; They are actually researching if the drug works on canines so they can use it to help women with breast cancer. Isnt that an experiment on the dog? They also take your dogs body for necropsy to further study the effects of the drug. I had a BIG problem with paying for anyone to experiment on my Zeus and taking his body to help study breast cancer in humans...
Thoughts?

Oh, I'm right there with you on that one Deb.
I understand the need for trials but I think there's a fine line between trial cures and experimental exploitation. My fur-child is not an "experiment".
Okay, gotta quit now before I get on my soapbox.

First, please note that the so-called "clinical trial" discussed above is not a legitimate one endorsed by any teaching or research institution. It doesn't count in what I'm about to day.
Dog knows we didn't understand clinical trials when Jerry was fighting cancer. We thought that dogs were used as lab rats for the benefit of science. We've learned a lot since and our fears have been debunked. We would likely participate in one if we ever had to deal with cancer again. Here's what we learned: for information about reputable and legit clinical trials and their purpose I encourage everyone to check out:

Clinical trials are an affordable way to get the newest cancer therapies. They keep your pet’s quality of life as the number one priority and you can withdraw at any time. To learn more, check out the Flint Animal Cancer Center’s Clinical Trials FAQ’s page.

Just want to update the story about the scheming SOB behind Tumexal. He's back in prison for bilking millions of dollars from pet parents by selling them fake cancer cures
