Because it's close to her home base, and if Ansgar hadn't persisted in focusing her attention on a particular spot on Jackie's abdomen, the diagnosis of a not-yet symptomatic cancer would have been delayed, it seemed particularly fitting that this story was running last week in the Philadelphia/NY area papers and newscasts. Maybe Jackie's doctor should reach out to the researchers and share the details of how her diagnosis came to be with them....could be an additional project for the center to consider working on.
With all of the good wishes and will and prayers being sent her way, Jackie should cruise through the surgery this morning, have an easy and effortless recovery, and get a report of 'all clear, neoplasia resolved with excision' shortly thereafter.

Ronin sniffed out my friend's returning brain tumor and then ignored the same spot months later much to her happiness at being told the next week by her oncologist it was gone. He has been able to detect low and high blood sugar, pending heart attack, seizures, and infection as well as cancer. His nose is truly amazing.....

My husband commented on how Tasha, the GSD in my sig, would frequently poke him in the crotch. "Her accuracy is amazing," he said, "she almost always hits me right on the end of my penis!"
Several years later, he was diagnosed with bladder cancer, and died from it. The doctors did two cystoscope exams on him, and could not find any cancer, even though he was having symptoms of blood in the urine and urinary frequency and urgency (all possible warning signs). So, even if we'd known WHY she was doing this, it still likely would not have made a difference. By the time they did find the cancer, it had already metastasized to the bones and lymph nodes.

I would like nothing more than to participate in such a study. When I'm feeling a little better I will write U of Penn & describe my experience, & I will also discuss this with my oncologist. Thank you so much for everyone's well wishes! jackie harris
