Rower Michelle Posted July 1, 2019 Share Posted July 1, 2019 Too bad theses Beagles weren’t around for me last summer- so much for those chest x-rays! Robert Macaulay, Tom Galli and MBinOregon 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert Macaulay Posted July 1, 2019 Author Share Posted July 1, 2019 My dog was sniffing at my mouth every time we went out in the car and when i think about it now was about a year before my x-ray in ER, and i kept thinking i do not have bad breath and moved the dog away from my face.Still does it to this day. The goal is to develop an over-the-counter screening product, similar to a pregnancy test, in terms of cost, simplicity and availability. Dr. Quinn envisions a device that someone can breathe into and see a color change to indicate a positive or negative finding. Curt 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rower Michelle Posted July 1, 2019 Share Posted July 1, 2019 So interesting to me- I had 2 chest X-rays 2 CT scans and a small army of very smart doctors that had no idea what was going on in my lungs until the biopsy came back. I had my mammogram over the weekend I couldn’t tell you how irritated I was to see all that pink!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert Macaulay Posted July 1, 2019 Author Share Posted July 1, 2019 Agree i had 1 X-ray one CT And three biopsies and nine weeks later before he decided it was cancer and referred me to a oncologist. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curt Posted July 1, 2019 Share Posted July 1, 2019 Early and easier screening are def needed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MBinOregon Posted July 1, 2019 Share Posted July 1, 2019 Doesn't surprise me dogs can sniff out lung cancer. Dogs are just pure love and pure perfection 😍 - I'm a bit (A LOT) of a crazy dog lady... Michelle - i know what you mean by all the pink for breast cancer thing. Tom shared this link a while back about various disease/cancers and the funding - rather old stats, but still depressing none the less how little of a funding lung cancer gets. 😤😣 Rower Michelle 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
