Everyone has their own way of dealing with death and the dying.  Cut Ryan some slack.

My heart goes out to Farrah and her loved ones.  I agree that we need to have more funding available to fight this scurge of a disease.

It was just announced that Farrah has passed…May she rest in peace!  You were a very beautiful woman and will be remembered as a very strong woman in everyone’s eyes!

Farrah put on a very long, brave fight against cancer. That has got to be admired because I witnessed two cancer deaths that weren’t brave. I’ve wondered, is it different pain tolerances or a stronger will to live?

One friend died within four months of her kidney cancer diagnosis. She refused chemo after three treatments. She hated how it made her feel. She told us she wanted to die because her quality of life was gone.

Another died six months after colon cancer surgery. He wasn’t given chemo but his last days were spent asking someone to kill him because of the horrible pain.

I’ve witnessed other cancer deaths that were brave, but I wonder what makes the difference. The two people above were very strong people when healthy and many people looked up to them. They had huge funerals.

About Ryan O’Neal, when you read Allegra Huston, Tatum O’Neal and even John McEnroe’s autobiographies, there’s not much to be said good about him. He probably treated Farrah well (or else what would she have stayed with him), but not other women. He’s all about himself and he’s a bully. To men and women.

Cancer is a terrible death and to see someone suffering with it breaks your heart.  My cousin is slowly dying now of cancer and it is just a matter of time.  I know it will be a blessing when he passes because the person lying in this bed is not the man I once knew.  How long and how much more money will it take to find a cure for cancer???

To die from cancer is the worse thing in the world.  It’s a long, drawn out never ending battle.  The med’s make you sicker then the disease, but there the only way to hopefully cure it, and you never know what is around the cornor.

Farrah fought for a little over two yrs. the TV said, but there is NO test for Rectal Cancer , no early warning sides the every day person is aware of, not like breast cancer, prostrate, there are warning signs.

Farrah didn’t know until she was already in stage 4 according to the TV.  I only hope she was not in pain when she went home to be with her Mom.  My prayers are for you Ryan and Red,and the rest of her family.
