Here's hoping this talented lady wins her fight. If anybody can beat the odds, it's her.

I think I heard she had colorectal cancer, which is a slow-growing type of cancer. On Access TV, they were talking to other cancer survivors (i.e. Fran Drescher) who wished her well.

My mother died of cancer, so I offer Farrah my deepest condolences and wish her the best of recovery.

I read about this earlier in the week. She said, "Please respect my privacy at this challenging time." Best wishes on a speedy recovery. Thank God the treatments have come so far.





(So hard to write anything about Farrah without the word "bats**t." Doesn't really seem appropriate under the circumstances.)

Lots of people have cancer. It's pretty awful. I wish them all well in their respective fights.

Indeed.

Flaky? Yes. A good actress? Yes.

Cancer survivor? Knock wood, yes.

Although take this as a warning: always look after yourselves as in this country at this time, the medical community only really cares about you if you have money.

If you are a 'regular' person, you have to be your own doctor and fight for every bit of treatment and respect you can get.

Colorectal is an iffy one. if caught in time ( no mets) and the cancer is responsive to the tx, Everything is hunky dory. Otherwise... Prayer is a good thing.

I hope it gets cured. No one deserves cancer.
