The spot ''Heather,'' centers on a 9-year-old Heather McNamara who speaks directly to the camera in manner that is in total contrast to the gravity of her situation. She speaks about her family’s search for a hospital around the country willing to operate on the baseball-sized cancerous tumor that had entangled itself in her stomach, pancreas, spleen, intestines, liver and surrounding blood vessels. She was considered inoperable by other doctors the family consulted until they met with Dr. Tomoaki Kato who removed 6 of Heather’s major organs in a 23-hour surgery in order to get at the tumor.
