I am quite familiar with watching cancer ravage a spirit, mind & body when my maternal grandmother was diagnosed with colon/rectal cancer back in 1978, in the height of Fawcetts career as 'an angel'. The two people I was most fond of died at the same age two deacdes plus apart and again I have been catapulted back to feeling an extreme sense of loss.
Although I never met Farrah Fawcett, I always followed her wonderful career. My grandmother never really liked the show itself but found Farrah to be very real in her performance both in Charlie's Angels and other things she played in. Her one time appearance in "The Partridge Family" episode of the shows second season, was classic 'blond joke material' and I not only found it outstanding but she shined as what could of been a 'moment of forever being ditzzy'; yet it was pure Farrah !
I am on a crusade now to get more information out onto the net about anal cancer and how to catch this deadly disease as early as possible. It is unfortunate that no matter how much money we have, how much faith we hold precious and how much willed strength to live is supplied, sometimes the disease wins and even if her physical lovely body is no longer a part of this realm, I truly believe she will help me help other women NOT go through what she did. I await her guided instructions . . .
love you angel
Us Magazine - 1 hour, 49 minutes ago --June 22nd, 2009//he says they "will" wed "as soon as she can, say yes. ... Maybe we can just nod her head." "I promise you, we will," he told Walters. "Absolutely."
I wish Ryan would not have waited for the public to see him 'marry the love of his life', nor the two of them wait for the 'perfect moment'--because that moment has been stripped viciously from them. It appears throughout their coupling the 'marriage issue' was no issue at all; however when her strength reserves started plummeting and her spirit started waning, in her third year of a fourth-stage aggressive cancer she battled, she wanted the solidification of her being, 'a married soul'. I sense this strongly as Ryan from the very depths of his soul murmered to Barbra Walters that he 'absolutely' would honor in holy matrimony the woman he shared so many glorious and tough years with as a lover, friend, father but nevr husband.
As she lay in her huge bed of the home she shared with Ryan the morning of this announcement made on June 22nd, 2009 I from way across on the other coast, felt his 'absolutely' was a mere wishful thinking kind of word despite how much sincerity and commitment was behind it. He dearly loved, more and more over the years. It had me thinking, if this woman waited till a terminal disease to finally become 'wedded' (which she did not), I ask what is making the women out here who are permanent fixtures, taken for granted life-partners but never are going to be honored in 'holy matrimony' for whatever reason ? Why do you honestly stay with someone who swears they will never honor you by marriage but will live with, eat with, sleep with and ocassionally fool around with you till both of you die . . . ?
Anyone care to elaborate ?
"I am past menopause, believe I have enough personal experience with it enlighten now, then when I began. I was not afraid of memory loss but was more scared of how quickly it could deteriorate if I stopped exercising my brain." "A constant reader of mind-stimulating information--history, legend, even fiction, I am a sponge that is enthusiastic about teaching everyone around who asks of my knowledge, to share it as I do." (taken directly from interview with 'dr.mom' 2/8/06)
You may experience misery of hot flashes & mood swings as you enter menopause, but one thing cannot be blamed on the "change" is memory loss. The researchers state myth of memory loss during menopause is a perception some women have because as they went through menopause, felt their memory wasn't as sharp as before.

| How can you tell the difference between alcohol abuse and moderate drinking? Women who have more than seven drinks per week or more than four on a given day are more likely to have alcohol dependency. © iStockphoto.com |
Ever wonder why men seem to hold their liquor better than women? Women react differently to alcohol than men, studies show. Alcohol takes more of a toll on women physically, mentally and socially. They become intoxicated more quickly and do not absorb and metabolize alcohol the same way. Women have less water in their bodies than men, so the alcohol they take in is more concentrated.
Age enters the equation, too. Older women may find that drinking alcohol affects them more than it did when they were younger. Aging causes the amount of water in the body to decrease, making it harder for the body to metabolize alcohol.
