It's obviously something Farrah wanted to share with others who are struggling with a similar battle. While I am a young college student, I don't know her work too well, so I didn't grow up being a fan. What I do know from watching "Farrah's Story", is that she is trying to give hope to those who are struggling with their own war. Farrah is obviously a very iconic celebrity through the media, and it seems as though her intentions are nothing but positive in terms of giving hope to others, standing up for health care privacy, and even displaying a side that celebrities are regular people as well. Unfortunately, we live in a society that doesn't care as much about those who are struggling if we don't know them (not the instance for everyone). Technically through the media, it's almost as if the world knows her and makes it as if the world is losing someone near and dear to them. Why blame NBC?

I know that at some point, no matter how many medical tests I have (or don't have) my body is going to give out and I'll find out all about the afterlife. But in the mean time, if they all don't mind, I would enjoy not having this society-wide obsession with cancer shoved down my throat!

I pray you get anal cancer and you try and find somewhere to seek a right treatment for it. There is a big reason she is doing this and if you can't see that than you shouldn't be writing at all.

Years ago,,,, she was young,,, attractive,,, and craved media attention. Today,,, I am getting mixed messages from her,,,, as she blasts the media for not giving her the privacy she thinks she deserves. HOWEVER,,, she obviously has approved this special that is being aired. Once again,,, a craving for media attention. What about the many thousands of cancer victims,,,, who endured even more than this woman has,,,, whose stories go untold,,, because they are "nobodies,,, and the media doesn't care about them. And the many beautiful women,,,, who also lost their lovely hair to the chemo treatment? They remain unnoticed & unrecognized in their battle,,,,because their name is not Farrah Fawcet. Such a damn shame! I am in total accord with your comments. Years ago,,,, she was young,,, attractive,,, and craved media attention.

She's sharing and it helps her go on too. To "fitsnews", mind your own business, don't like it, don't watch! have you gone threw something like this? count your blessings you can live, it's all she wanted. I'm her age, of course she beautiful but she played the not so bright roll a long time and now I have a lot more respect for her. I find her and Ryans life long afair heartwarming too. God Bless her, his will be done. She has my prayers. : D I think she was terific on this show tonight, she has a lot of guts. i wish a miracle could happen. She’s sharing and it helps her go on too.
