My cancer has come back and I should have known but it was in both armpits. I didn’t have breast cancer in my right breast, but I did have a Metastasis to the bones in my neck my ribs, my sternum, my back, my hips, and in my liver and my lymph nodes so now I am stage four and they say I have about two years. My dogs won’t come near me anymore. They smell it if I hold them they wanna jump down really fast, the first time I had it, my neighbor had a golden retriever, and that dog would not leave my side until I had my mastectomy. Once I have my mastectomy the dog came and smelled me and never came back animal skin sense it. Certain dogs have a real nose for cancer. Hope this helps Maria.

Hi Veenu.,
Totally agree, I will share my experience. I was diagnosed with stage 2 almost slipping into stage 3 ductal carcinoma in 2003. I had leaking from my nipple and an indention in an area where my cancer was located. Ding Dong OBGY Dr , when she examined me told me the indention was prob due to the fact I had an injury there ( banged into a corner table when I was a teenager. I bruised this area and this is why I had an indention.
Hello, I switched OBGY Dr ASP . After my needle biopsy I was treated by a more experience oncologist. About a year before my diagnosis. my King Charles spaniel would sleep next to my side where my cancer was located. In the middle of the night she would lick my the area by my breast above my very thin nightgown. I believed she must have either smelled the cancer. I don't know if this can be proven yet as you mention after my surgery she not longer had the need to lick the area where my cancer was located. Animals are wonderful. I can't live without them. They never think you are crazy or are they judgmental. She began to sleep by my feet after my surgery ..... so yes only in my opinion and others perhaps on the site , dogs can communicate with you to alert and warn a person. Sadly we often failed to pay attention. Don't be so hard on yourself as each day is a gift. Surround yourself if you are able to with positive people. Sadly people are so fearful and react weird way when we are sick. At first I was very angry and then came to realize everyone walks the walk at some time in their life. They will remember people as ourselves. Find the beauty of each day in Nature. flowers. walks, listening to birds out side, waterfalls, its healing but most of all be gentle on yourself. I finally told my husband I don't need a fan club or pity party f rom anyone. I just need my family and a handful of very understand and compassionate friends.
God Bless.

I really feel sorry for you. But don't give up hope, one of my family member also had cancer she was at stage 4 and the doctors gave up saying that she has just 2% chance to survive, but she believed in her destiny and today she is totally fine.
