wendigoal Posted April 18, 2008 Share Posted April 18, 2008 I watched the documentary special The Truth About Cancer, which aired on PBS Wednesday in my area (Montgomery, Alabama). This was a really well-done piece. The filmmaker, Linda Garmon, began with the story of her husband's diagnosis with mesothelioma, and ended up visiting several cancer centers and talking with patients who had a variety of different cancers, talking to oncologists and researchers. It was an emotional film, as well as providing a lot of interesting information. PBS does have the DVD for sale on its web site - you can just Google PBS and the name of the film - for about $20 if you don't get a chance to see it. Alabama Public Television is running it several times this week, and possibly more this month as well. I write a blog about mesothelioma, www.mymeso.org, so I was especially interested because the filmmaker's husband had meso. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flyman35 Posted April 18, 2008 Share Posted April 18, 2008 This aired the other night in my area and I started to watch it with Tom. After about 5 minutes he told me to turn it off that he could not watch it. So I did not get to see it. I guess I will just have to buy the DVD.
