The Doctor Oz television program will focus on stomach cancer on Thursday. Among the patients on the show is someone with NET Cancer, according to a note I got yesterday from the Carcinoid Cancer Foundation.

In the Boston area the program appears on WFXT, Channel 25 at 5 p.m. If I am reading his website correctly the show repeats on that channel at 10 a.m. Friday.

In the Providence, RI area the show is on at 3 p.m. on WJAR, Channel 10.

In NH and Maine, try WABI, Channel 5 at 10 a.m., WAGM, Channel 8 at 2 p.m. and WGME, Channel 13 at 4 p.m.

In Vermont, two stations in Burlington broadcast the show: WVNY, Channel 22 at 5 p.m. and WFFF, Channel 44 at 9 a.m.

In Western New England, the show is on WFSB, Channel 3 in Hartford at 4 p.m.

If you are outside of New England, the Dr. Oz website has a place on the top right of its main screen that will either give you the closest station to you or a way to get the nearest station by typing in your zip code.

Be forewarned, however, that the listing information on the web site may not be 100 percent accurate. The Boston listing is different in terms of time on the search than it is when it pops up on page 1. I would suggest even those of you in New England check your local listings just to be sure the times above are accurate.

This is very good news for all of us fighting this form of cancer since it will give the disease national exposure that has been hard to come by so far. Let’s hope this is only the beginning.
