I also feel that Ryan was only there for the publicity. He was probably more upset that Michael Jackson passed away the same day and overshadowed Farrah's passing. |
I am a member of a very large ostomy board. I have a permanent colostomy. Many of the members have been talking about how they felt she "dissed" them when she opted not to have an ostomy. She did not want to "live with a bag" all her life. While I did not see the documentary, many of them had. They felt that she made like they were freaks because they had to live with a pouch for the rest of their lives. Not all ostomy's are permanent. But then again, she died and they are alive. No one wants to have a pouch. It's not a great way to live. But if I had to chose between having a pouch and possibly prolonging my life, or else unconventional therapy and/or medicine, I would go with the pouch. But, it was her choice to make.
OP: I am happy that your sister is now cancer free.
