This does present a very good question, myself I have run tired of all the stuff on TV these days, but this is being done with a show that has a good cause, so I guess we shall all see if it is a fit.

The Internet is such a wealth of information as well, and through YouTube, you can find videos, educational videos, that will show and explain almost any medical procedure today, and yes the whole drawn out show is right there, but done professionally and dedicated to the education process, so if you have questions and want to see what is involved in some of these tests, do a search and you will find.  YouTube has become a very valuable resource for education and is not just limited to entertainment.  The FDA and pharmaceutical companies all have a vested interest here and have many videos listed.  BD 

I think a celebrity wanting to make known the fact that one has gone through such tests to help and warn others is a good thing, but how far do you go is the question here, but we shall all see how it plays out tomorrow night, and again, this is just my own personal opinion as I have dearly grown so very tired of some of what I see these days and I just prefer the focus to be what it supposed to be, to further healthcare knowledge and raise the money necessary for research and development.  Don't forget to watch tomorrow.  BD 

Forget strapping on a plastic wristband or plastering a ribbon sticker on his car. Actor Brad Garrett of "Everybody Loves Raymond" is going all the way to raise cancer awareness.

The inevitable humor, and "ick factor"of 6-foot-8-inch tall Garret getting a digital rectal exam turned off some doctors, and made others worry that it would turn men away from the exam.

Doctors who have to perform rectal exams know how emotionally disturbing the process can be for men and their partners, even if the exam is painless and short.
