Treatment for Cancer

There was an interesting story in our local newspaper today, about a dog who receives a unique treatment for cancer. The story is featured online, but behind a pay wall.

The dog, who is eight years old, had skin cancer. It received some ordinary veterinary treatment, but was not fully cured. His humans then found out about a kind of vaccine, actually a form of immunotherapy, from abroad. They got help from a veterinarian and a company that imports medicines.

It was expensive, but the humans had the money. My humans would, too, but I would not expect any human to be able to do this for a dog. It is still great that some humans have the heart and the money for it. I believe it is good news. In the future, since the treatment is done now, it may very well be cheaper.
