One of the characteristics of breast cancer is an increase
in temperature, due to a number of factors. As most
women wear bras, there is an opportunity to build into
them a pair of woven mesh sensors that constantly
monitor
the temperature of each breast, then deliver two sets of
readings
to a monitoring app for comparative analysis.
Any
prolonged temperature difference would quickly register,
and potentially lead to earlier detection.

Hmm. Not actually a bad idea. |

Ah - thought it might be bit baked.... won't keep long, but leaving for a bit of discussion/prompts for other similar notions. |

We know of one lady whos dog kept persistently nudging, nuzzling and trying to lick one of her breasts. Then she thought she could feel ... something. |

An X-ray revealed very early stage mammary cancer, right on the threshold of detectability with current technology. It was immediately and successfully treated. |

Dogs are already being trialled for detecting cancer by sniffing urine samples. |
|
| |
//Dogs// - but are they as good at detecting cancer as pigeons are?
(see link) |
|
| |
Pigeons have the additional advantage that those that fail the training assessment can be converted into a tasty and nourishing meal. |

{crosses "Korean" off the list of nationalities [8th of 7]
could potentially be} |

I always envisage 8th as a type of moth eaten,
talking pigeon, that hops around constantly
moaning about its gnarled feet, which look like
blobs of matted chewing gum, with a few
protruding matchstick stumps. |

Nice. Having mammo next week. I wish I could just slip on
the old brassiere instead. |

Did you know that a mammogram is 10^17 grams? |
