A family in Los Angeles has a family dog, Max who had been diagnosed with an aggressive cancer of the spleen known as hemangiosarcoma. Their family vet told them that they would only have about one to two months left with him, but that there was a cure but hasnt been tested much.
The family enrolled Max in a new clinical trial at Penn Vet that has been testing an ancient Chinese mushroom to cure cancers in dogs.
"It's a test that could be major, and even mean help for humans fighting cancer." according to Dr. Dorothy Cimino-Brown, professor of surgery at the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine.
The research showed that dogs treated with a compound from the yun-zhi mushroom, known as PSP, had the longest survival times ever reported for dogs with the deadly disease, going from a maximum two months with no treatment, to living over a year with only the mushroom as a treatment!
What are your guys views on this. I personally think its awesome
(here is a news video about it)

Good story but you didn't reply to anybody!
Hopefully then can keep testing this so one day they can use it on humans!
I think it's cool that people are discovering new ways to cure cancer, and other diseases. If it is proven to work on humans, I would hope it would be cheaper then all the other ways. Overall this is awesome.
I think this is really cool!! One of my dads dogs died of cancer and it would be really cool if cancer in dogs was curable with the same treatment that could also help humans!
Wow! This is really cool! I think its amazing how a little mushroom can change a life. It would be awesome if we could turn it into a cure for cancer. It will probably take some time, but hopefully we can get there some day.
It is cool how we are finding new different ways to cure the sickness of animals. I find it very interesting and I am glad they are trying to help them out.
Its cool that they are using unique ways to try and cure cancer. It seems like it would be safe to use with less side effects.
I think this is cool and could help and save a lot of dogs! To a lot of people, animals are just like any other family member.. so it's great if they can stay alive especially with something this simple!
I think that this is amazing! I think that this is an okay thing to "test" on animals. If they are dying anyway and we can try to help them and maybe find a cure for cancer at the same time that would be amazing.
That's really cool! It's good that researchers are discovering more organic medicines and especially ones that work. I'm glad it's helping out dogs but I still hope they find a way to prolong it even longer for humans since treatment hurts and costs a lot.
