I would add that as I stated above in my last post, no commercial about Oral Cancer would be complete without something about the importance of early detection and the amount of suffering that can be avoided by a Stage I diagnosis.
I thought it was a great experience going through the audition process, something that I never dreamed of having the opportunity to do. Everyone there created a pleasant and relaxing atmosphere. The thank you note from Terry was a very nice touch and I thank Colleen for taking the time to write to Terry so that we would all better understand the process of how the decisions are made as to who will be picked to do the commercial.
