I know that there's a palce elsewhere on this site for cancer news but I just read this and it intrigued me.

Obviously, as they say several times, this needs to be replicated but I can beleive it's a true finding. Does it strike anyone else that if dogs can be highly accurate at smelling lung cancer, they should be able to do the same with oral cancers?

Larry lol! I really missed having a cat when I was recovering from the worst of the radiation. Right after my elderly cat died three years ago, my grandfather died and I inherited his elderly, cat-chasing, dog. She's a sweetie, and slept by my bed most days, as well as amde me get out to take her for a walk, but it isn't the same as a cat cuddling up wiht you when you're sick.
