And your point is what ?

[Ev Reeman]

As a teenage boy, I had the FF poster hung in my room. She was hot.

Although her acting was spotty at best (good in some things, awful in others), her outward beauty never really faded until this bout with cancer.

That is one of the most insidious things about cancer. The toll it takes on ones physical condition and state.

FF showed she was a trooper right up to the end.

[Maelstorm]

Just raising awareness.

And your point is what ?"

Bringing forth some knowledge for us.

After reading the report...Farrah Fawcett died from a terrible cancer that can inflict anyone...

We all have been warned that medicine is still in the learning stages.

Smoking - smokers are significantly more likely to develop anal cancer compared to non-smokers. In fact, smoking raises the risk of developing several cancers.

Thanks for the information.

Never will forget Steve Martins line about how many hours he spent, holding up Farrah’s poster with one hand ;-)

RIP Farrah, you brought happiness to many.

[blam]

God bless you.

RIP Farrah.

I remember you.

I also respect her that she didn’t pull what so many sick or injured celebs have done of recent - and use their injury or illness/disease as a stump for embryonic stem cell research.

[AmericanInTokyo]

I liked her a lot.

That is one I felt sorry in seeing passing.

THIS poster?

Notice - it is still called PRACTICING medicine for a reason...

[Maelstorm]

I don’t respect or disrespect her. I don’t know enough about Farrah Fawcett. I’m sorry to see anyone suffer. My sister died of oral cancer. She didn’t get it from smoking she got it from HPV. It amazes me that while people are warned about so many things that it is exactly these kinds of things related to sex that people and the media are too happy to remain in the dark on or cloud the issue.

"Notice - it is still called PRACTICING medicine for a reason..."

And now the Government wants to give it a try

If that don't give one the Hershey squirts

[Ev Reeman]

Yep, that poster.

[Ev Reeman]

Yep, that poster.

I think people took her cancer seriously and felt for her pain and wanted her to recover. I think her stock went up with people due to her brave fight. I could be wrong but that is what I get from people who speak of her. Oh and most people are pissed by the lack of coverage she got with her death compared to MJ.
