I thought it was very well done. There was an oral cancer survivor on there who was a singer and took out his prostesis. Oral cancer wasnt mentioned as werent alot of cancers. The show could have been much longer to give more important info for screenings. It showed breast check ups, colonostophy, and the turn your head and cough exam.
All the celebrities donated their appearances. From what I understand all the money raised will go directly towards cancer research. Sidney Kimmel gave 25 million, hope others who are well off follow his footsteps and give large amounts too. Maybe Im too optimistic but it would be so wonderful to see a cure in my lifetime.
