Brian,
Being well aware of whom you speak, perhaps there will be a change in attitude as the leader is stepping down from her role this year.
I'll bet when you allowed the two agents to post on the board, you never imagined it would turn into anything like this. I hope that they are true in their words as I was told after the interview, "We will not be selling anything". One could only assume that their company name and their product will be mentioned somewhere, before, during or after the interviews.
Before I committed to traveling to New York, I had asked Caroline if they were only looking for survivors that had chemo as part of their treatment. She had assured me that this was not the case. I think that if they really want to do a true public service they would want to include someone like me, to show that early detection not only saves lives, but can help to avoid treatment above and beyond surgery.
However, this is all pure speculation as we have no idea how they want to present things and as you feel, so do I, that anything that brings public awareness to the forefront, will be good for our cause.
Jim,
It appears the nobody has gotten a rejection yet. I believe that only those that will be in the ad will be contacted after the first email. Sometime early next week, as the shoot is still planned for 12/2 as far as I know.
