| Sorry I disappeared for a while because just after I posted earlier about finding the EBC46 website, my dog made signals that he wanted to go for a walk - and that's rare atm so off we went! LOL It was freezing cold out but he kinda took off at a loping gallop towards the rec ground so I followed :) Anyway - when I got home I had messages on my front door telling me about the ACA show and ebc46 etc from neighbours. Isn't that wonderful! Off to check out the ACA site and tash - thanks for the phone no. 03 is Tassie and Vic so I'm assuming it's a melbourne number. I'm ringing them first thing tomorrow - and then my vet. I'm not sure how this all relates to bone cancer and possible lung cancer (if it's spread there) but it might be worth trying anyway. |

| G'night Tash! | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Yes I haven't had a chance to check out the ACA site itslef yet, I was cooking my dinner when it started and just dropped everything haha! Lisa yes they said it will possibly be trialled with humans sometime down the track. I know it's a first and very exciting. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Thanks Tash and goodnight to you xx | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| yes Lisa, trialling on animals and hoping it will be used on humans later. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| sorry, I'm earbashing here! yes, it's great that we can pitch in and help where possible. Just nice that we've all found each other on here eh! Must go as Princess needs compter. Catchup tomoz x | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| This sounds like a good thing for human cancers too? Is this something they are trying on animals first? Sorry, haven't seen the show yet. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| it's all on the aca site Jay, so Coach can access it, plus you gave her lots of info too. Must have been Oz wide as we have our own local show here. Thank goodness we saw it eh. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| yes, for sure. I think they're calling for pets to be trialled at this stage? wld be in victoria with an 03 no? unless other vets can access supplies. The guy who disocvered it is with the CSIRO - one of the most respected organisations in the world. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Yes Tash..I think all of them have been cured and at least 2 of the dogs on the show tonight only had ONE injection..the vet said it takes about 5 days for it to be gone...I was listening so hard and trying to write things down that I can't remember it all. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Oh gosh...I'm so excited! Just goes to show that a little community like here, where we talk of 'general' things...might find something to help one of the others...I really am praying Jacki can get somewhere with this. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Jaybear, I think s/o on the show said some animals have been cured as the tumours disappeared. How wonderful! So hope Coach can take advantage of it | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| COACH, I've just seen the story and feel very excited for you and Dally. There's a no. also 03 52215333 | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Good one Jaybear, go Coach! OMG I've got tears in my eyes too!! | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Meant to say also, they might have the story on ACA website..might tell you a bit more than I could remember. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| OMg I'm so glad to see you so soon..I thought you might be busy and not get here for ages and was wishing I or someone had some other contact for you!! Soon as I heard them advertise what was on I got pen and paper ready and wrote down all I could for you. Gosh I hope something good comes of it! |

| I googled ebc46 and got straight to this page where you can download the application for your vet to submit if you want to trial it on your animal. http://www.ecobiotics.com.au/clinical-trials.htm I'll do a bit more research on what's in it and see if my vet can find out more. That's great jaybear! |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| jaybear - thank you so much for thinking of us and for letting me know. I'll go and check it out. The people in this forum are just so lovely - you brought tears to my eyes. |

| Not sure if you saw A Current Affair tonight but they were talking about a cancer cure being trialled for pets. One guy had his oh can't remember type but veey large dog who was given only 6 weeks to live, not sure how many treatments he had but 2 other dogs had only one treatment. The treatment is for when there is no alternative ie operation etc ...an injection of a drug called EBC46 (derived from the fruit of a north Queensland rainforest tree) injected straight into the tumour, it shrinks the tumour...under GA of course. The trials are being done by Ecobiotics (think that's correct) and there's info on the ACA website. |
