Possibly, if it was there then. It's also possible that this was something that onset later.

It's interesting, though... aren't there some studies of dogs being able, with some training, to detect certain cancers in people? It's amazing to imagine what the world must be like for an animal with such hypersensitive senses.

Right concept but wrong animal. The feline limbic system is fine-tuned to be able to detect human cancer. They can actually smell out cancer cells. That's how they developed the CAT scan.

I'll be here all week. Try the roast beef.
