Tonight's hour-long, star studded fundraiser will light up the airwaves of all three major networks. Celebrities will man the phones, amid live performances and personal stories of the toll cancer takes on the nation. CBS Evening News anchor Katie Couric lost her husband Jay and sister Emily to the disease. She says even a one-dollar donation will go a long way. Katie said, "We have the commitment and we have the know how and the technology , we just need the funds. We we need a national movement and a national commitment to say, we're made as hell and we're not taking it anymore." That kind of fighting attitute and hope given to her by her doctors at Georgetown University Hospital are what keep Anne Crupi going. She says, "I have stage four metastic breast cancer. It's in my liver and I have a spot or two on my lungs." The Calvert County mother and grandmother is ready to try an arenal of chemotherapy agents to keep her disease from spreading further. When druges loses its power, her cancer team can switch to another. It's new blood tests that help them know when that starts to happen. Dr Liu, from Georgetown University Hospital says, "The FDA technology is called Cellsearch. It's covered by insurance companies and can be ordered." Dr Liu says Cellsearch can ferret out circulating cancer cells in the blood stream before there'seven an actual tumor visible on a CT-scan or MRI. Dr Liu says, "So we've had to wait three months, fourt months to take more pictures to decide whether or not treatment is working. And we'd like to be able to do that earlier so that we are not wasting time." For women like Anne , time is of the essence. She says, "I want to be around for my kids, I want to be around for myself. I'm not done yet. I got a lot of living to do." Anita Brikman, 9News NOW
