Cancer Treatment Centers Commercial
The Cancer Treatment Centers of America sound like a wonderful place to go when you have cancer. I’m sure that everything they claim in their commercials is true and bless them for being there when people who have cancer have lost hope and confidence in their prognosis. The commercials have me convinced that if I ever get cancer that is the place I want to go for treatment. So why this post?
This post has to do with one commercial in particular that just strikes me the wrong way. It’s just a small thing but every time they run it, it makes me feel like there’s an itch I just can’t stratch. The commercial stars a woman called Peggy who describes how she found out she had cancer from her doctor. He told her nothing could be done and that she had two months to live. In the commercial, Peggy starts to choke up and cry. A perfectly natural and understandable reaction to being told you would be dead in two months time.
Then while Peggy is at home dying, her sister calls the Cancer Treatment Centers of America and they test, and treat her and offer her hope for a long life. Peggy decribes how the doctors here tell her that she has no expiration date stamped on the bottom of her foot, and how the tumors are gone and she’s in remission. After this miraculous new lease of life, Peggy says “I thought, oh”. Oh? They just told her the cancer that was killing her is gone and all she can say is oh?
Like I said it’s just a little thing but if I were Peggy I’d be yelling ” WOO HOO! YEAH, I’M GOING TO LIVE, WOOO!!!
” I thought oh” Oh, well.

I thought I saw the same woman who played Peggy on another commercial recently. She looked exactly like her, the voice was the same.
Can this be true? Was she just an actress?
I saw the same commercial, and thought something different. I thought that Pancreatic cancer is one of the deadliest kinds and that the doctor who told her that was trying to be realistic. I doubt he wanted her to die in 2 months. He was right, it could be anywhere from 2 months+, but usually it is not good. Cancer centers of America would be a place I would for sure call, and Peggy should have too. But when people blame doctors for being honest, it just kills me. Like it is their fault. I bet they take some of that home with them and cant’ sleep some nights. I also bet that if I ever needed Cancer Centers of America I wouldn’t be able to go their because I have no insurance, I can’t afford it and I am 46. Is it free? I hope so. Kinda doubt it though.
i doubt shes an actress. the pain in her voice when she said ‘it was heartbreaking’ was way too real. It makes me want to cry. I’ve been looking for that commercial on line. If she is an actress, she is indeed an incredible one.
