The FDA gave conditional approval for the first oral tablet to treat Lymphoma in dogs.
The treatment is called Laverdia-CA1, also known as Verdinexor. The treatment blocks some proteins from leaving a cancer cell, making it difficult for the cell to reproduce.
In case you're wondering, Verdinexor has been tested for humans, too -- I found studies for Influenza and Lymphoma. But it doesn't look like they've been very successful.
But, really, this post isn't about treatments for humans, anyway. I wrote it mostly because I've been thinking about my dog a lot lately. She didn't have Lymphoma, but this gives me an excuse to post some pictures of her.
She was always very good about putting up with my nonsense. I miss her.
Stay well.

Penso no quanto você deve sentir falta dela
Em português existe uma palavra chamada saudade ,que exprime a falta que sentimos de alguém
É única,em tradução
Mas universal na expressãodo afeto
Fique bem
