I've seen the interview on Oprah, and while I was not completely happy with the way she portrayed chemo (I think she scared a lot of people), Melissa told it from the only point of view she could - her own - period!!! In her defense, she only had a very short amount of time to talk. The way the commercials were promoting it, I thought she had the show or at least a good part of it. She had just a few minutes, so she may not have been able to say everything the way she wanted to (and maybe she has chemo brain still lingering - I know I do). I didn't see the Dateline interview, but did see the Lifetime special and THAT was great!! The facts were on, it was honest and man, she rocked!! Tears were flowing from everyone in the audience and I cried too. I see know reason to complain to anyone. At least she is not promoting mistletoe injections like Suzanne Somers.
