Farrah's Story

[annieCinMD]

Did anybody else catch this on TV last night? All I've got to say is for my worst day on this TX, it's nothing compared with what she's been through over the past couple years. Kind of put things in perspective for me.

I started watching it, but i couldnt get through it.
So sad!

I agree, what do I have to whine about

Yep, I saw it.  I thought, "wow, what a brave woman!"  And she still seems to have the determination to fight!  What an encouragement!  I know it is very sad, but I'm trying to see it as an inspiration.  Like, if she can go through that and STILL SMILE at times, then it's like what do I have to ever whine about?

I was crying so hard I gave up on the kleenex and went and got a roll of paper towels. That was one of the saddest things I've ever seen, she tried so hard and it's just so not fair. Liver cancer - something all of us in here can relate to the fear of so openly displayed. I still want to cry honestly. God bless you Farrah.

I am having a bad treatment day to begin with so I should have known better than to try to watch that today.  I only got part way through it and had to bury my head under the covers.

Big hug for jdwithchv and your hubby.  I have several friends and relatives in the same situation as you...cancer gone for 5 years (YEAH!) and still the fear remains.  

Heck, I had precancerous cells that resulted in a hysterectomy and I still get feelings of fear from that and it wasn't even actually cancer!  I sympathize.

[jdwithhcv]

Wow, that was very hard to watch - it hit so close to home and brought back so many memories.  When her doctor said you can be cancer free for five years and still it can come back, Ray had to leave the room.  The fear never leaves you.

So sad....it breaks my heart to see her lose her battle with cancer.

Heartbreaking to see anyone...lose there battle.
My heart goes out to Patrick Swayze as well...

My heart goes out to everyone with such a battle to fight!!

[GSDgirl]

I saw enough interviews to know how sad it was going to be and didn't watch it.  And yes Ryan was heart wrenching in his pain, what I saw in the interviews.

Here's the link to view it, for those of us who missed parts.  I'm going to watch it when I can sit by myself and blub.

Ryan broke my heart. Poor man.

[Isobella]

I loved the fact that she left her bangs.  She looked great.  And she just broke my heart.

[annieCinMD]

I liked the fact that she shaved her head herself, wasn't going to let the cancer do it. Now that's taking control! I think I may be starting to lose mine, but pretty sure most of us don't lose ALL of it like cancer treatments can do. I agree with Isobella, too, I thought she still looke really beautiful, even now.

Annie I thought the same thing, especially when she was filling up her pill boxes, had all those needles in her, and was throwing up.  A few times she did look awful.  Can you imagine how she felt losing her trademark beautiful hair.  

[Isobella]

I saw the last part of it.  Unbelievable. She looks so beautiful even now.  Maybe even moreso after seeing what she has gone through.  And her and Ryan O'Neil seem soooo very much in love.  So sad.

I watched that and the Alzheimer's thing on HBO.   Heavy duty TV here last night, lol!  

Definitely puts it in perspective.
