Joined: Feb 2005 Posts: 2,019 | 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? http://www.nytimes.com/2006/01/17/health/17dog.html?incamp=article_popular

Joined: Feb 2005 Posts: 2,019 | 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.
