BMS that makes Erbitux and other drugs is looking for people to appear in some TV ads. You won't get to talk exactly about what you want, (almost certainly not OCF) though your personal story is part of the deal. But these are spots of survivors ( within certain parameters listed on the following link that will be used to sell their drugs. So nothing in it for OCF, but hey you get to be a paid TV person, and get a SAG card for about 600 dollars a day. Info is here on this link

Did anyone ever see the commercial that was done after all of us auditioned last year?

Well at least the TV casting agency was upfront that nobody over the age of 50 need apply. Really brings home how head and neck cancer is hitting a much younger demographic than ever before.
I hope an OCF poster is selected, we certainly have an articulate and personable pool of under 50s to select from
