Farrah Fawcett I love you but.....................

It is still sad, and still a unique experience to see it documented in this form.

Bigb23... I have no clue what point you are trying to make here...

Yes she's a famous millionaire with good looks and a charmed life. But she is also proof that money cannot buy happiness or a healthy longer life.

Sadly her terminal disease has the paparazzi drooling over her not yet dead corpse like hungry jackals on a kill.

She is an inspiration to cancer survivors and I salute her valiant effort.

My 87 year old mother has the same affliction and will never be cancer free, and will continue with Chemotherapy as long as she can handle it.

Mom ALWAYS goes to bed at 9PM, but Friday night she stayed up to watch the entire show. She was depressed by it, saddened for Farrah and for mom's own affliction. But in a way... it uplifted her spirits, since mom's cancer has receded and she is still a survivor... something that Farrah will not be. And it showed mom that as bad as things are for her... others have it far worse...

One other point is this... why did Farrah have to fly to Germany for specialized treatment? If we're the greatest and the best in medicine, then why did she have to go there? Is American medicine falling behind other countries of the world? Or is the system here so cumbersome for medical treatment, that we need to change our way of doing things in the field of research and medical practices.

It leaves you wondering?

And as for Farrah... I doubt she made this documentary for publicity... but more than likely for other reasons... such as why aren't we spending more on research on these diseases?

I think it was brave of her to publicly share what in most families is a private grief... God bless her for her bravery...
