I liked one of the points that they made..........
No one likes to talk about, a below the belt disease.

I caught the broadcast this evening--not bad. Featured one of old-time CBS newsmen (Bob Schiefer I think) who had bladder cancer 5 years ago; Schiefer noted his first symptom of blood in the urine, and that he'd been a heavy smoker. The voice-over mentioned that 50% of bladder cancer is associated with smoking. Dr. Bochner from Memorial Sloan Kettering was on too, stressing the importance of early detection. The segment also stressed that people who've had RC can have reconstructions and lead entirely normal lives.

Good publicity!

Tomorrow's CBS Evening News will feature Bladder Cancer

A story on bladder cancer is scheduled to air Thursday, August 5th, at 6:30 PM Eastern on the CBS Evening News with Katie Couric. Check your local listings for local broadcast times.
