  • I'm Dan.

  • And I'm Neil.

  • We'll be discussing dogs,

  • being used in cancer detection.

  • Everything okay, Neil?

  • One of my children is as sick as a dog.

  • I didn't sleep all night long looking after them.

  • As sick as a dog is an expression, meaning very ill.

  • I'm sorry to hear it.

  • Try and hold on if you can.

  • Don't worry.

  • There's life in this whole dog yet.

  • It's funny that you mentioned dogs because the UK's National Health Service is currently assessing where the dogs can be used to detect early stage prostate cancer.

  • Amazing.
