Colorectal Cancer spots

[Sounds of soft piano music playing in the background]

VISUAL:  Two women talking. 

Woman 1:  … that’s what he told me.

Woman 2:  Your doctor told you colorectal cancer is the number 2 cancer killer?

VISUAL:  The same two women are talking in a kitchen.

Woman 1:  For both men and women.

Woman 2:  Is that why you had the screening test?

Woman 1:  Well, I felt fine.  It’s just that I turned 50.

Woman 2:  I know that; I threw you the party.

Woman 1:  Yeah, and my doctor said that anyone 50 and older should get regular screening tests.

Woman 2:  But I’ve never even talked to anyone about it.

Woman 1:  Beth, people need to talk about it because so many deaths from colorectal cancer can be avoided.

Woman 2:  I’ll make the appointment today.  See, Helen, talking to you is good for my health.

[Woman 1 and Woman 2 agreeing in laughter]
