I'm hoping someone reads this very quickly. A Canadian elderly gentleman had full blown cancer (Leukemia) which spread drastically throughout his organs. He only had a few months to live. He attended the Jewish Hospital in Montreal Canada and was placed on a drug known as "Ribovirin". His cancer disappeared and now has a clean bill of health after several weeks. An amazing story. I am an RN and I sure was impressed and thought if Farrah heard this story someone could help her quickly as well. This drug zeros in on Leukemia, all types of cancer: breast, colon etc. Please tell her attending physician.
Good Luck ! -
Yes, I watched it twice and I am praying for her miracle.She is the most beloved star . She is beautiful both inside and out.God Bless Farrah!
-
Yes, I watched it and just wonder rather than having all those drugs pumped into your body with no guarantee of remission why she would not of just had a colostomy and probably would of been better off today.I have an ileostomy for 10 years due to colon cancer.

A cure for Cancer needs to be found, Cancer like Farrah Fawcett's killed my grandmother in 1971 and my sister at the age of only 9 years old died from a rare Brain tumor in 1973. Nobody should have to go through such horrible side effects of the Chemo and other meds. to try to survive just a few more months and sometimes a few more years. Research appears to not be as aggressive as it should be. A CURE NEEDS TO BE FOUND

Because she was my high school dream girl.

FARRAH FAWCETT : DE LA BEAUTE A LA POURRITURE ?
Pathétique, poignant, cruel comme un miroir renvoyant l'image de notre propre condition : Farrah Fawcett, ex-beauté incarnée, est en train de s'éteindre quasi en direct sous les caméras de télévision américaines. Cependant elle croit encore à un miracle, priant avec ferveur pour que la vie triomphe de son cancer alors qu'elle est en phase terminale.
Sur son visage, le masque de la maladie, de la vieillesse, de la hideur : notre masque potentiel.
Le plus effrayant : savoir qu'un humain peut passer de la gloire la plus complète à la misère la plus totale. Tout n'étant qu'une question de temps. Ce qui arrive aux êtres "immortels" peut nous arriver à nous aussi, simples mortels que nous sommes...
A travers son agonie nous assistons à notre propre fin.
Madame Fawcett ou l'histoire de la beauté qui devient décrépitude. Quand un destin de gloire finit dans la déchéance. Lorsque les sommets insolents de la jeunesse éclatante se concluent par le plus noir abîme... La maladie.
Avant la mort.
Mais éloignons-nous de ces vanités hollywodiennes, ne nous arrêtons pas à la souffrance, à la tristesse, allons à l'essentiel : au lieu de la pourriture promise par la Camarde, derrière ces apparences immondes du cancer, moi je vois l'éternité.
La mort prochaine de Farrah Fawcett, la fin d'une étoile ?
Oui.
Ou pour être plus exact : la lumière retournant à la lumière.

WHY? BECAUSE I ALWAYS ENJOYED HER AS AN ACTRESS. IT MADE ME SO SAD TO WATCH HER GO SUCH PAIN BECAUSE IT BROUGHT BACK WAY TO MANY MEMORIES. FARRAH, I DID TAKE TIME TO SAY PRAYERS FOR YOU. I CRIED LIKE A BABY WHILE WATCHING THE FILM. RYAN, I FOR ONE THINK YOUR A GOOD MAN. LET ME GIVE YOU A WARM HUG.
-
yes i did , and i hope she get recovered fast and may god bless her and all thoes ppl that have a cancer and i wanna say in arabic (ربنا يشفيها ويشف كل مصاب بمرض السرطان
) -
Farrah has said she wanted people to respect her privacy during this hard time she is going through, then turns around and airs it all via The Farrah Fawcett Documentary? I don't get it..
-
She has stressed she wanted her privacy from invasive tabloids etc. who report inacurate information. She made this piece for a myriad of reasons, however, to address your question, she wanted to show HER story the way it is to set the record straight. When one makes the choice to be public about an illness it is one thing. But to have that right taken away and with lies it's another story not HER story.

-
I watched.. I was sad..I was happy. She is couragious!She brought so much happiness to my life and I sincerely wish Farrah all the love and health in the world.

Farrah has been my idol since "Charlie's Angels." I loved her then, and I love her now. I recently lost my mother to cancer. It's such a difficult time. My prayers are with Farrah and her family and friends.
-
I watched Farrah's story because I have always been a fan. And really wanted to know how she was dealing with the treatments. It was scary to see how painful the treatments were on her. She is truly a very courageous person. I truly hope and pray they will find a cure for this cruel disease called cancer.
-
Did she get this from anal sex?
-
I wouldn't have missed it. Thought it was great and it shows the evil ways of cancer. I laughed when she was dancing and cried when she cried.
-
I watched because I wanted to honor Farah and all who are enduring and have endured devastating disease and pain.
Farah is a remarkable and courageous person.
Blessings and prayers to Farah and all those in need of them.

05-21-2009 I pray that god has given power, to give you strength, take the cancer off, and a clear mind in nutrition. so that you don't ever have to go through it again. And thank you very much, so much for letting us into your life. we love you.
-
I thought farrah's documentary was very good. Also my thoughts and prayers are with her and her family at this very trying time.
-
I've watched it several times. I watched it because I admire Farrah and because I have cancer myself. It was heartbreaking to see her suffer so much and the show left me with questions about her 'choices'. Did she really hold off on big guns chemo because of her hair? Would a colostomy have made a difference? Why did she not have a port instead of trying to use veins that had given out? I guess only she knows why she did what she did. I pray for a release for her and hope that God really will let her 'dip her wings down and feel the rain' as she wished. God bless this angel and give her peace.
-
I really hope Farrah finds a miracle.
I hope Alana and Ryan are really looking out for her and not money
Farrah was way too good for Ryan Has Been O'Neal -
Farrah is an amazing woman and I loved her since childhood
Like all Icons she is an original and there will never be another
Farrah Fawcett just like there will never be another Marilyn Monroe
I admire her even more,such a brave woman and I hope and pray
she beats this and defies the odds.God Bless you farrah and keep fighting girl ! -
Heavenly Father, please wrap your comforting arms around Farrah and take her pain away. You blessed us with her beauty and now you've shown us her courage and strength. We saw how she fought the evil battle of cancer with such grace and unwavering faith in You. She has been a blessing to us all. Please Lord, if it is her time to go, take her and end her suffering. We know You are the strength her loved ones need right now and we thank You! In Jesus precious name, AMEN.

I dearly love farrah, I am praying for you farrah and ryan and redmond. farrah in the movie the burning bed you were so great.the movie helped me to get out of a abusive marriage after many bad years. may God be with you
-
farrah I pray that the Lord Jesus take your pain away. He loves you so very very much.redmond God be with you at this time, Ryan you are such a sweetheart, I will be praying for the Lord to hold you in his arms and comfort you and farrah. God bless.
-
I watched it because she wanted all of us to..and also, I like her acting and her art work. I wish her God's protection and love.
-
Farrah brought attention to cancer, nothing else. The show was very self serving. It sounds like she made some bad choices [no side bag, no port, bad nutrition, no research]. Her vanity and not excepting her age were her reasons for her choices. Many of us cancer victims do not have the money and resources that are available to her. I was diagnosed with stage 4 colon cancer in April of 2006. I did have the bag for 6 months and did not have the privilege of staying home. I stayed home a total of 10 weeks for 2 operations and still continue to work at the age of 65. I have no other income and needed insurance being a widow. I however I do not feel sorry for myself. I do a lot of research on treatment, which includes nutrition and lifestyle. My daughter who is 41 has breast cancer and has 7 children is currently going thru treatment. She to does not participate in self indulgence. There are so many cancer victims out there like myself and my daughter, and many many children whos story should be told. Thats were inspiration to other cancer victims lies, not with selfserving movie stars!
-
Sounds like you had a terrible road. My father had non-Hodgkins lymphoma..and it took his life early because it was inoperable.
I respect everyone that has their own opinion, but I don't think that FF made this documentary for self- serve inclination. I think that she wanted everyone to see what cancer is all about. Noon sees behind the curtains when it comes to the meds, the needles, the pain & the loss of hope in some cases. I wish you well my friend. It is a place that no one ever asks to be in, it is what happens to us. Peace.

I watched it because Farrah is a beautiful person and a wonderful actress who I have always liked and followed. I am concerned about her health and wanted to know how she is doing. I too am hoping for a miracle for her. She has always offered a lot to people and she deserves to enjoy her life.
-
I went through a similar struggle with my own father, he had non-Hodgkins Lymphoma. It brought back tears & the time I spent with him during his last year here on ear.
-
I thought Farrah's documentary is probably the bravest thing anyone famous has done. For someone who is the worlds most famous sex symbol to show herself at her most vulnerable is so courageous and shows no pretense. I applaud farrah for giving,hope and showing others who are also battiling cancer that your not alone.
God bless her -
Yes, or course. I've been a fan / collector of Farrah's since I was 13yrs old. As hard as it was to watch I thought it was well done. It was tough to watch Farrah in so much pain. To hear her sweet soft voice wondering if it rain in heaven brought me to tears. I don't know if Farrah would of wanted her son shown on film in chains. That was sad and heartbreaking.
As far as a second part, DON"T DO IT. I think Ryan, Alana and NBC are now taking advantage of Farrah. What there going to film her dying and her funeral? Enough!
As a huge fan, I adore Farrah and pray she's not in any pain, and of course hoping for a miracle. -
She is a icon from the 70's. She is beautiful and funny and hard to believe an advocate. I truly believe that she is a walking miracle. Good luck to her!!!
-
i have always loved farrah but since the documentary im very disappointed , shes all about money which is something i never thought about her .
-
just found out she received 5million to make the documentary , very disappointing to me because i truly believed she wanted to help others , now to find out it was basically for money its disappointing
-
She bravely bared her soul and a most frightening disease. If I ever have cancer, I will be better armed for battle after watching what she endured and how she carried herself and others through it. I am ecstatic that she introduced us to such wonderful alternative therapies. She is a true Angel for enlightening us so. WE LOVE YOU, FARRAH!
-
farrah is such a beautiful person inside and out. and she don't deserve this. i have always loved her and i ache for her having to go through such an ugly desease.
-
I was away on a vacation cruise and missed it. I would like to know where I can see it
-
Dear Farrah,
You are so brave. I am a breast cancer survivor (almost 2 years) and only went through a 10th of what you have. You are such inspiration. You're faith is inspirational. You are in a win/win situation. Stay positive and remember the promise of the resurrection onto a paradise earth. Ok, yeah, I'm a JW. God bless you. -
initially I was drawn in by something, not really sure what. I suppose the pure innocence of Farrah and her vulnerability. Since watching it I've had mixed feelings. Part of me feels sorry for Farrrah and part of me wonders why they are filming all of this and now making a second one! I'm wondering... is filming ones death becoming the new reality, make money show? I'm quite frankly torn. Anyone who has lost a loved one or gone through cancer treatment knows the drill... it's not an easy ride. I'm not convinced Farrah's story is any different, which makes me think it's for the money.
-
I watched because he has the most taboo of all cancers: Anal cancer. How she handled it was wonderful; she's a brave woman in the face of certain death. It was a bit creepy the way the camera was always rolling though. And, her boyfriend Ryan and kid "Red" were weird; too many drugs? Nonetheless, Farrah has her loyal girlfriend and world-class doctors. I'm praying for her to be released from the suffering.
-
i watched my dad go thru this insidious disease and it was very difficult and he, too, was in the public eye and it takes a toll on you...I admire Farrah...she has given it her all...i feel bad for her loved ones.
-
I have NEVER done a poll thing. She is amazing! That was the most amazing and moving documentary I have ever watched. God bless you Farrah you are an angel.
-
I am a 32 year survivor of Hodgkin's Disease, as well as currently an employee at St. Johns Health Center in Santa Monica. While my cancer has never yet come out of remission, I echo Farrah's hope that research will discover why some cancer is so aggressive despite advanced state of the art treatment. I send all my love to her and her Family, and I thank her for her courage to share this documentary with the public. God Bless you, Farrah.
-
She is so brave and beautiful, inside and out. I am praying for a miracle for her. I could not sleep after watching the show, just thinking about what she has been through, and hoping she will be alright. She has so much to offer the world, and it is a better place because she is in it. Life is a grindstone, it can polish you up or grind you down, depending what your made of, Farrah is made of something very special.
-
I agree with one poster that a second follow-up documentary puts a new spin on the authenticity, integrity and purpose of this first show. And seems like capitalization. But also, Farrah said, "I am a private person" regarding the media and her illness, yet she posed for Playboy!! A private person does not pose for Playboy semi nude in a swimsuit. If you live your life in the public, making money from publicity, you must be consistent and be true to your fans who watched you expose yourself and sacrifice your privacy--in sickness and in health.
-
i so wanted to watch it but as luck would have it, bad storms in the area knocked out cable and so I missed being able to see it. I hope it will air again so I will be able to see it.
-
I watched the show because I have always admired Farrah. I think the show really shows how brave and caring she is. She has never gotten the credit she deserves. The show also makes me wonder why more isn't being done is this country. Chemo and radiation seems to be the only way to fight cancer, something is not right. Maybe she will help bring about some needed change. God Bless her, she has always been beautiful but also beautiful on the inside.
-
Why did Ryan O'Neal keep referring to their son Redmond as "her son" ? The pain he is in is apparent and I pray for them all.
-
I watched because Ms. Fawcett has been entertaining me since my teens. I feel I owe her thanks and And maybe the more people who care maybe there is a chance for a miracle that she most desperately needs. Plus I wanted to see if they treated her any better than they treated my mothers breast cancer. She wasn't.
I don't believe in GOD and this is one of the reasons I don't because no amount of prayer, EVER, ever works. It almost seems like the God people pray to is a Terrorist. This is no way for ANYONE to die. This saddens me deeply. I wish they'd let her son come home. -
I just watched it again and am wondering if anyone can tell me why Farrah could not have been sedated for the procedure in which the German doctor stuck the foot-long needles in? It did not appear to me to be something that required conscious cooperation on her part - it seemed beyond barbaric! In this country, one can be sedated merely for being afraid of the dentist! I pray that she is pain free at this time and if there are any miracles out there, I hope one has her name on it.
-
That comment doesn't make any sense. Why would she care about money at this point? #1, she's already wealthy, and #2, she's dying, she can't exactly take it with her. Why would she expose herself in such a raw way for money?
-
Her bravery speaks louder than words. I grew up watching her on TV like most males of that era and had her poster in my room. I have lost both parents, several uncles, Aunts, a Grandfater and multiple freinds to cancer. I am afraid for myself and my children. I want the Government to put more money into researching cures for cancer and less money trying to figure out why cows chew their cud.
-
Yes I watched it and hate to see her suffer the way she is. My Prayers and thoughts are with Her.
-
Not only did I tune but I also taped it and have watched 3 times so far,
Love & Prayers -
I did watch Farrah's story. It was so sad but so informative, I admire her for taking the time to share her story with the public from her good days with cancer to her bad days. It took a lot of determination for her to go through this with the world watching. I really wish she had gotten a small place in Germany that she could go and rest and not jump right back on the plane for the trip home. It sound to me that it would have or would be helpful. She is loved my the public and prayers are lifted up for her on a daily basic from all over the world. So many people with cancer go to Germany for treatment and if that is the place to go them buy all means I would also go it I thought it would help. Farrah'' story showed that she was and is not ashamed that she has anal cancer, my question is why did she not have a liver transplant-before it invaded her liver. I wondered if it would have done any good, I think that if might have but the doctors know best. My heart goes out to her=Ryan=and Red. I was so sorry to see that Red had to go see his mother in handcuffs, to me that was so insentive of the law, knowing he only wanted to be with his mother, at least he was able to be there. I hope if and when something does happen that he will be allowed to attend her funeral. FARRAH KEEP THE FAITH==KEEP LOOKING UP==WE WILL ALL BE PRAYING FOR YOU AS A PERSON AND ALSO FOR THE CANCER TO BE IN REMISSION AGAIN==GOD BLESS YOU AND KEEP YOU IN THE PALM OF HIS HAND==HE IS THE GREAT PHYSICIAN.

I think the reason they did not put her to sleep when she was in Germany and they used that long needle which was terrible pain for Farrah, I think they were afraid to put her to sleep because she may not have waked up, I truly don't think that any doctor would put her under for any procedure for that reason, it is ashame that she will have to endure the pain that goes along with her treatmen. My heart goes out to her for having to go through all of this and I to wish she had a port alone with other things that could be placed for her treatment instead of sticking her every time, sooner or later her vains are going to blow just like they said and then they will ready be in trouble = they may have to go through the veins in her groan area, I can not think of any other place that it would be possible to get to veins that have not blown.

Sorry for Farrah. She needs all the prayers & help that she can get.It would be great if her son could get his act together for her to see & know.Beautiful , such a waste. I just got over 5yrs. of Breast Cancer.
I still see the Dr. Love & Prayers for Farrah. -
I did watch Farrahs documentary because she is a person I truly admire, Such an amazing woman inside and out. I watched her shows/movies as I grew up and always wanted to be like her and now she just seems so real to me. My prayers go out to you Farrah and I pray to God that we find a cure for your cancer soon! You will always be an insperation to all of us. God Bless YOU!
-
I new she would tell her story the way she thought would be best for her..and her family and not a lot of rumors that you would hear if she did not do the documentary..Wishing her and the family the best...see more
-
Farrah has inner strengh and a person we understand is from the heart , of us all. If I could I would like to take her pain away . love Dorothy
-
Terrible, I didn't know what night it was on. I would love to see it.
Even though not seeing the documentary my heart goes out for Farrah and her loved ones. -
Would like to have seen the documentary. I was unaware of its showing.
-
I am so reaching out to Farrah. I am a catholic and praying for her. I used to be told I as a Farrah look-alike. I pray for a miracle for her. I saw her "Farrah's Story" and was rapt in the video, feeling the whole thing as if it were happening to me. I wish I could have known her, as I am the same kind of person. I will continue my prayers, as I feel it is the only way we can find a "miracle" today. I love you, Farrah.
Pam -
P.S from Pam' You can see the "Farrah's Story" video on hulu.com. Just type in "Farrah's Story" and you can view the whole thing!
-
I wanted to know information about Farrah's alternative treatment. What vitamins is she taking. Farrah had a lot of vitamins laid out to take and I could only make out 1 vitamin. Can I find out what other vitamins she is taking? I have breast cancer and I am taking some alternative steps too.
-
yes.I thought it was informative and let others know that when being diagnosed with cancer it can be a very difficult road that sometimes has few answers. You would think with all our modernized technology we would have a cure for cancer. It's sad to see there's no other treatments that can help Farrah. She is brave and there's always hope.

I had the same question. Being a survivor myself...I didn't want to lose my hair and I didn't want a mastectomy. Granted a colostomy would be a very hard thing to come to terms with BUT if tou want the odds in your favor you do it.
The media needs to emphasize her decision not to have the surgery or the toughest chemo....if just to clarify to the public that there are other treatments. I'm no MD maybe it wouldn't have helped Farrah....but all the people out there who hear that diagnosis of anal or colon cancer need to know that it is not neccesarily a death sentence -
I am so sorry for the loss of Farrah Fawcett. It is such a loss to loose both Farrah and Michael on the same day. . I know that they are both starts but I was so concerned that they overshadowed Farrah's death with Michael Jackson death. We can't forget her . She endured so much and fought to the end. May she rest in peace,
-
Farrah Fawcett did everything right but to change her diet. The 1st thing you do when you get cancer is go totally raw and vegan. I noticed on her documentary she did not change her eating habits(nor did any doctor mention foods),her body could not repair itself with all the poisonous everyday foods and the drug treatments .
I am not a vegan but I do eat all organic. Ask yourself this
Do you know any raw food,vegan or organic eating person that has cancer? I have NEVER heard of anyone with the QUALITY FOODS LIFESTYLE to ever get cancer.
If you do have cancer-YOU MUST CHANGE YOUR EATING HABITS AND THE KIND OF FOODS YOU EAT!
Living in California she was in the best and easiest place to eat healthy!
I just wanted to say what was missing in her eye opening true to life documentary. That documentary was like no other and will help lots of people in the future. -
She was a beautiful person inside and out.....God rest her soul
-
Thanks for your tips on eting habits BUT.....you dont know what her docters told her...she lived a good HAPPY life so she can eat whatever she wants if she is HAPPY....life is too short!!

AMEN!!!!!

I admit it was frightening to see her (or anyone) endure so much pain while undergoing some of the procedures. And it was sad to see her partially shaved head, done to prepare her for when her hair fell out for real thanks to chemotherapy.
But there's another important reason for watching this. In the 38 years since Pres. Nixon declared "war" on cancer, we're still using the same 3 standard treatments -- slash (surgery), burn (radiation) and poison (chemotherapy). Maybe the drugs are slightly less toxic but not by much. And those who come up with innovative ideas such as Dr. Judah Folkman, who came up with angiogenesis and angiostatin drugs, are all but ignored until someone else steals his idea and gets credit for work HE did! Why did Farrah end up in Germany? Because the g-ddamned FDA sits on treatments that differ from the slash/burn/poison regimens. (Those treatments keep the pharmaceutical houses in business). I'm NOT one for "alternative" (read that "natural therapy" --- pine bark and alfalfa sprouts) treatments such as the 13-year-old boy whose mother refused chemotherpay (which has a 90 percent cure rate for his kind of cancer) for him. Now they're on the run so she can put her own useless medications into his body. But I digress. I hope anyone who has not seen "Farrah's Song" watches it when it's repeated. For a country that can get people to the moon and can fix the Hubble in its spatial element, we still can't seem to treat cancer any better than we did in 1950! That is unconscionable!
