Farah Fawcett
Dedicated to a Very Special Woman- Farrah Fawcett
We all remember the hair, it was the hair of the seventies and Charlie’s Angels was the hit show that ran for years staring: Farrah Fawcett,
Farah Fawcett
A very private woman released her story of a valiant fight with a disease that many people do not survive and yet we expect them to have a happy ending as in the movies.
Farrah Fawcett told her story from the heart and as cancer survivors’ will tell you -it is the fight of your life and takes your life’s basket turns it upside– and throws you into a million pieces. It is up to you as to how you gather yourself back up -to put yourself all back together again.
Her doctors in Los Angeles and later she flew to Germany consisted of agressive chemotherapy, surgery, lazer treatments and more chemotherapy drugs. One German doctor called cancer ”a terrorist” that you do not surrender too. Through the story you see Farrah at her worst and some happy moments with her son Redmond and lifetime partner Ryan O’Neal. Her valiant efforts to maintain her sanity, to remain positive and yet to remain full of hope that she will survive the terrorist.
Farrah was diagnosed in 2006 with anal cancer and the tabloids never let her forget it but hounded her writing reports that she had days to go before she died. But she fights on and on…with hope and dignity starting new therapies, with drugs and the became toxic. The more drugs she had the more her veins became fragile and toxins were causing her body to fail.
The story is piognant, raw but yet reminds cancer survivors of the battles they must fight and bravely they fight on ever hoping for a cure for this dreaded disease. Farrah is sending us a message to fight on, and bravely find a cure for cancer. She asks why the research is not getting much attention and why we do not investigate more alternative medicines which are curing people in other countries. She asks why we continue to use toxics in the name of medicine, and why we try to assault cancer but end up damaging a body. As she says in the final moments of her show “How are you doing” and “What are you fighting for?”

Welcome back....good to see you again!
Farah, God bless you and the wonderful documentary you gave us tonight. I learned so much from you tonight, one being how a positive attitude and never ever give up is so important. When my best friend of 44 years was diagnosed with breast cancer I shaved my hair off to be a supporter and spend a few weeks with her. Yet I never realized how much she must have gone through til I saw your story. Thank you for that, Farah. My prayers are with you during this difficult battle you are waging. Put on the full armor of God and fight the good fight. Sleep tight, Farah. Love, Lois
