Did anyone watch Farrah's Story yesterday afternoon???

Wow, what a story. I was in tears most of the show, she really is a brave woman. My oldest kept asking why I was crying and I told her that she was dying of cancer and she wanted to tell her story. I only hope if I were in that situation I could be as brave and strong as Farrah is. It took a lot for her to be filmed the way she was, even during her sickest time she didn't want the camera off. Amazing woman is all I can say.

Yes I saw it. It looked like she had a chance for a while but then it came back. She is fortunate she could travel back and forth to Germany. Not everyone has the means to do that. The treatment bought her some time but in the long run if it is not going to work it is not going to. Very sad. Yes she is very brave for letting us see her like this. I'm not sure I could do that.

I watched it Friday night and like you, I cried off and on thru the entire two hours. I've always like Farrah. I thought it was so brave of her to have her friend film the treatments and some very private moments of her life. To see someone go thru this as she has is so sad. When she was getting those needles in her stomach to her liver, wow, that was intense. When she lost her hair was a really defining moment. She's known for her hair and it's gone now. It was an eye-opening documentary inside the life of a cancer patient. From seeing the ending, it looks like she's bedridden and pumped up with painkilling drugs.

She seems to be at peace with her life.

If it shows again, I definitely recommend watching it.

I saw it friday night what an amazing women she is. I admire her braveness. She is one strong women. I can't imagine what she has gone through the treatments sound very painful from watching it. I feel horrible for her and her family.

thanks, I watched the first segment, and that is about all I can handle for today. Farrah has such a soft voice and seems to handle it all so matter-of-factly.

It was so sad at the end when the judge released her son from prison so he could see her. He snuggled up to her as she was lying in bed and Ryan told her that her son was there. She is a very brave woman.

Thanks for posting the link to the broadcast, Xhausted1. It worked just fine. I've just sat thru all 11 videos. I just lost my youngest sister in March to cancer very much like Farrah is dealing with. It brought tears to me, but yet it's made me see that our family has not been alone in fighting this deadly battle.

I watched it. It was so compelling, but strangely familiar. Like someone had videoed my own treatments then posted it as theirs. I feel bad for her and her family.

Unhappy

Sorry I could not way too sad. I feel the same every time I see pictures of Patrick Swayze. I know cancer is part of everyday life, however its so sad and it hurts too view someone go through so much pain. I am grateful to hear that Ryan is there for her and was happy to hear that she got to she her son, again very sad all around. Just pray that she does not suffer . Peace. Catherine

Saw part of it, could not watch it all, it was so sad! I was also quite disgusted at the son, he should be ashamed of himself..he SHOULD be there for his dying mom... nope, he's on drugs and back in jail yet again for like the tenth time. I just imagine Farrah in lucid moments, still not having any peace because she's probably worried about her son.

It made me think of my Mom, and what she must have went thru. I am truly terrified of this disease, and pray to God that I am spared.

I'm doing good. My cancer is stable for now, meaning it's not growing, but it's not shrinking either. I'm taking meds from home and getting time off from chemo.

Thanks for asking!
