I havent seen it, but I feel its something I wouldn't want to watch. Especially after losing my old man to cancer.

My mom and dad had it on in the family room- and I caught most of the last hour. It's very sad..... Now I am totally bummed, I will pray for her. It is so tragic- it really is. I feel helpless.

Farrah, along with Fleetwood Mac, are the epitome of the late 70s. I'm watching it right now, and it just breaks my heart.

i missed it, does anyone know when it will re-air?~

I watched it last night. I thought it was very well done. That laser treatment she underwent in Germany was barbaric. It amazes me that with all the research this is the best we can do?
Also I've had several members of my immediate family die of cancer. Like Farrah, they went through periods where they actually improved, saw hope and then had a recurrence. I guess what I took away from it is that you have to cherish that time of hope.
I of course thought of Stevie and her friend Robin when I saw City of Hope.
I don't think Farrah is long for this world. I hope for her and her family that some miracle occurs. The situation with her son is tragic. Her father seems like a wonderful man.

You can watch it on youtube

God bless her 91 year old dad. He's already lost a daughter to cancer. She was also 62 years old. The part at the end with Farrah's son, shackled, lying beside her on the bed, saying "mommy it's me", just broke my heart.

Yes.. that was heartbreaking

I taped this so I have to watch it but a caught a few minutes of it so far and it was very sad. I think she is such a strong, brave woman for documenting everything she has gone through. I really hope somehow she makes it but from what Ryan O'Neill has said this week on the today show it doesnt seem like she has much time left. So sad.

Indeed ..I'm really surprised she is still alive .I can only chalk it up to her indominable will to survive ..Seeing as her sister died at the same age she is now of cancer I think she must have been dealt a bad set of genetics for that disease.

I saw it last night. (MNBC had decided to rebroadcast it.)
She's fighting it tooth-and-nail, that's for sure.
I loved Farrah's line about angels being allowed to dip their
wings into the rain, "even if only for a moment" -
that was beautiful. And it was great to be able to see her having
some fun with a snowball fight with her best friend.
I also thought it was great that she was willing to share this
experience with the world in order to show everyone what it's like -
and what CAN be done these days - I have a strong impression
that if this had happened 10 years ago, she wouldn't have
survived even this far. And it made me wonder why she had
to fly several times, all the way to Germany, for a scientifically established treatment -
this wasn't some "alternative medicine" thing that some people
in Western Medicine might consider "off-the-wall," this was modern, top-of-
the-line Western Medicine. I have a silly idea that that should be something
that the United States is able to offer.

Anyway, a lot of people are praying for her. I'm sure she knows that and
appreciates it.

I think maybe there's segments on Youtube; and I have a sneaky feeling the
entire thing is eventually going to end up there.

I know a little bit about this so I feel I can comment -
Picture a bunch of highly-skilled engineers making a
really powerful, incredibly heavy, strong Mack truck -
whose purpose is to get into a head-on collision with
an equally powerful Mack truck going the other
direction at the same speed (or faster). There's no
question, i.m.o., of "why didn't they make a stronger
truck!?" The truck is as powerful as it's possible for it
to be - the problem is the strength and power of the
other truck. They're doing the best they can and doing
as much as is possible, until nan0therapy and gene therapy
get started - and that's so complicated that no one can help
the fact that it takes a long time to research it.
Just some thoughts, that's all. More money and more
people working in the field is always a good thing, of course.

They're re-running "Farrah's Story" right now on the Bravo network.
