It is my understanding she weighs 80lbs wet and is bedridden; and has been so since april.
here is some recent info regarding the fight for rights to the documentary:

as well as Farrah's reaction to watching the documentary:

I have no doubt as to her true intentions in publicizing her fight for life. She is obviously of sound mind. I trust she would rather share something else, anything else with the world than the harsh reality of her cancer. In doing so, she has obviously provided inspiration to those also suffering; as evidenced in the recital of some of her fanmail. She, her family and friends, are to be commended for their bravery in revealing as much of themselves and for those that rip/cast judgement upon her choices can 'suck off '! IMO 
I wish for her comfort and peace. |
Something else I'd like to point out, is that the symptoms of anal cancer are easily mistaken for simple hemorrhoids. (They're very easy to find doing a Google search - just search for "Farrah Fawcett" And "Symptoms.) It's my belief that that's what happened to her - she fell into the trap of thinking it was nothing serious, and delayed until it was much worse and possibly too late. She's hoping to use her
"Celebrity Status" to prevent that from happening to other people. God only knows how many lives she may save that way. I totally respect her for what she did, but I would like to think that it just shows that she's a human being - "Save thousands of lives, or NOT save thousands of lives" - that's a no-brainer.
