It’s nice to have a feel-good story about people once in a while. I’m so weary of hearing about all the rotten things people do.

Oh I’ve got a good one for you. I volunteer at an animal rescue that does boarding. One of our regular guests is a big cranky orange cat named Buzz.
One day he started incessantly licking a mole on his mom’s arm. She had it checked and it was melanoma. Had it removed.
Few months go by and he starts licking a different one. Precancerous.
We started calling him Dr. Housecat.

I know that dogs can be trained to smell cancer.
I have even heard of old people who have been with each other for 40-50 years notice a different smell that was a cancer.

Looking up moles on the internet is like looking for Brown Recluse spiders, everything is a match for some qualification or other. I really want to see what the mole looks like that it could so certainly be ID’ed, and it could help the public potentially

I wish I could “heart” this more than once.
I’ve been in a “why does everyone have to be so shitty to each other?” mood lately.
It’s incessant and it’s everywhere.

Nadia Popovici is a Canadian that moved to Seattle a few years ago with her family. Brian Hamilton is a Canadian and was treated in Vancouver BC, I believe. Serious issues like this get moved to the head of the queue in Canada’s “free” healthcare, regardless of your financial status.
