Rectal cancer. colonoscopy, after 40 is always good idea.
Farrah Fawcett dies at 62. Everyone's favorite poster woman has passed away.
Actually it was anal cancer and you don't need a colonoscopy to diagnose that -lol. If she had a colonoscopy at age 40 it would have zero impact on her being diagnosed at age 59 with anal cancer.
The official guidelines from all the major medical societies recommend screening colonoscopy starting at age 50. But please carry on with dispensing your medical advice.
But, I thought FEDACE was a doctor?
:twisted:
OMG !! Sad news. Had her posters on my wall as a kid.....
I never met her before but my condolences.
I have a new respect for cancer patients now.:-|
She'll be missed.

RIP, farrah!!!
Sorry to hear that. Reminds me of other stars who died while receiving dubious 'treatments' in Mexico, like Pat Paulson and Steve McQueen. A movie star's place is in front of a camera, not making medical decsions (or advocating political policies).Quite a tragically unnecessary death. My oncologist colleague was telling me that morning that anal cancer, unlike colon, is usually curable. Combination of earlier diagnosability and its being more responsive to radiation and chemo than other GI tumors. Farrah unfortunately opted out of conventional therapy and pursued a "holistic" treatment.
^ Not amused, heycal.

Too bad. I'm almost positive it amused someone, because I'm certainly laughing over the image of a crazed Ryan O'Neal barreling into the morgue to beat the crap out of a dead Michael's Jackson. Maybe you need to understand show-biz better and the particular personalities involved.
Really? Why not?
Meaning you used to have contempt for them?
She must be so pissed Michael Jackson died five hours later and completely upstaged her. I wouldn't be surprised if Ryan O'Neal breaks into the morgue and beats Michael senseless.
No, I think that you need to understand what is in good taste & what is not.
Cal, she was almost your age!
I think you need to understand what is funny or not.
I'm a professional, systemic. I know what I'm doing.
Ah, that must be it. I obviously have no sense of humor.:twisted:
My point was that while you were a young man in the 70s, you must have had quite a few Farrah fantasies.
Had or have?
The following photo appears to be an alternate version of the best selling poster:
Looking at these posters, it reminds me that celebrities in the 1970's had not yet gotten on the breast enlargement program yet.
And they look alot better. fake breasts are terrible. If a woman has small breasts she has small breasts ill still look.
I believe that Farrah Fawcett was still playing tennis as of a few years ago, about the time that she was diagnosed with cancer.
Looks like a fairly decent service grip in the 3rd photo. Racquet looks familiar, perhaps a cheap knockoff of a Wilson frame. I think that I may have owned a few of these prior to my Head Master period. Anyone have any idea what racquet this was?...
