Brian,

I guess I'm not the only guy that watched the nighttime soap opera, Grey's Anatomy" last night. Although I don't pay full attention to the show, my eyes darted up from the newspaper to the TV when I heard the words "tongue cancer". My wife and I were stunned to silence, because we couldn't believe what were were seeing and hearing and we didn't want to miss a word. My first reaction was "WOW" now we've made the big time.

Although the script was missing some valuable information, I wonder how many people watching never knew there was such a thing as tongue cancer. Well, now they do..after all Dr. McDreamy and Dr. McSteamy did the surgery. That's a good thing. Sure I was disappointed that they got some things wrong and that they missed some facts, but this is the first time I've ever seen anything about oral cancer on primetime, non-news, TV.

I wish they had somehow found you to be their technical advisor. But, the average person watching, didn't know what was missing and maybe someone besides OCF members were talking about tongue cancer today.

I had no idea that the actress was a survivor.

And speaking of TV, my Healthwatch TV spot on ABC about the VELscope, was pre-empted this week by a breast cancer story, but there is a good chance it will be aired next week.
