Well, today was the day. A producer and cameraman showed up at the office and we did an interview and videotaping of a VELscope exam and a comprehensive oral cancer screening. The producer had a script of questions for the interview.

Can't say I wasn't nervous as this is certainly not my forte, but knowing the importance of getting the message out and exposure for the VELscope, I managed to get it done. I think I came off pretty well and I am sure that I made my point. I am disappointed, however, that I wasn't able to work in the OCF into the taping. I did give the producder some informational brochures and she promised to work some information into the reporter's lead in. She also said there would be a link to the OCF website on their website, along with the video.

She said it could take up to 3 weeks for it to air and she will give me time to let people know when it will be on.

I will try to get the information here for those in the viewing area and a link to the website when it is available.
