DevonDeathTrip 2,366 Posted October 4, 2006 Farrah Fawcett has cancer of the intestine, is that life threatening I wonder. Yes. Not nearly as fatal as pancreatic cancer, but similar in the sense that it can fester for quite a while before a positive diagnosis, by which time the tumor might have spread to the bowel, the large intestine or the anus.

DevonDeathTrip 2,366 Posted October 12, 2006 Farrah Fawcett has cancer of the intestine, is that life threatening I wonder. I think Farrah deserves her own thread. As we have seen with Paul Hunter, cancer of intestine can be fatal. In my opinion her "fast growing malignant mass" entitles her to a bit of individual attention on DeathList. Much obliged in advance DDT Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Gunjaman5000 32 Posted October 17, 2006 This article is a bit of a bummer, it confirms that she in fact has cancer of the anus. I was particularly moved by this line; The good news is that most people with anal cancer will be cured. Treatment typically entails surgery, radiation, or chemotherapy. Media reports suggest that Fawcett is being treated with a combination of chemotherapy and radiation. Imagine getting radiotherapy for arse cancer, oh the ignominy. Ignominy for all concerned that is, I don't imagine it being tremendous fun for the radiographer (celebity arses notwithstanding). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Magere Hein 1,400 Posted October 17, 2006 I don't imagine it being tremendous fun for the radiographer (celebity arses notwithstanding). "Guess whose arse I radiated today." The lads in the pub will be dying to hear the answer. regards, Hein Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Drive-by Flatterer 1 Posted October 26, 2006 Slighty off topic... I was checking wikipedia for news of Lee Majors (FF's ex-hubby of course) to see if his health is on the slide. Anyway, it's good to see that Lee was a hardcore supporter of womens rights Quote: "Majors has been married four times, but his most famous marriage was to actress Farrah Fawcett, another 1970s pop icon. In 1976 Majors and Fawcett made TV history by being a husband and wife who sumultaneously starred in separate top-rated shows (The Six Million Dollar Man (Majors) and Charlie's Angels (Fawcett)). They were married from July 28, 1973 to February 16, 1982, but they separated in 1979. They broke up because Majors wanted his spouse to be home with him in the evenings when she often needed to work on her show. The producers of her show made some concessions—for example she was allowed to leave the set to prepare dinner for Majors every evening—but eventually the demands of both their careers proved too onerous and they parted ways" http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lee_Majors Did Farah appear on the set the next morning saying that the bruising is due to a fall on the stairs and she will get Lee's chicken fried quicker next time Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Six million dollars. How beautiful it is. It makes you want to kill Donald Trump and Bill Gates. Six million dollars to them is a little more then gum ball machine money.
