    Yep to each her own. I've dedicated the better part of my life to healthcare and see each person's life as valuable as the next. It doesn't matter what they've done in their past (outside of heinous criminals)...no one should have to suffer or have their loved ones watch them in agony, wasting away. I'm not here to judge another human beings worth. With final stage ca, people are fully aware that their judgement day is upon them.

    I didn't get to see it but maybe it will be available online... sounds like I really missed out.

    It is worth watching. I almost didn't watch it but there was nothing else on.
    On a personal note, it really tore the heart out of my chest when she realized that she was going to die and said that it hurt her to think that she'd never see her son again. After I had my heart attack and when my colo-rectal surgeon prepared me that I might have had colon cancer, that was the first thing that crossed my mind. I wasn't worried for me, I was worried for my children. Thank God when they removed part of my colon, the growth turned out to be a polyp that turned into a benign tumor among the other damage I had. but it really got me thinking.

    Thanks Janelle, they covered this on the documentary and thank goodness Arnold Schwarzenegger passed that law. We have a similar law here. Everytime I go into a patients record via computer, it's logged.Back when we kept paper charts, I'd see people passing them from one person to the other. I'm glad that people have to be held accountable now. Working in a gynecology practice there was a lot of really personal info that got passed to people that had no business seeing it.

    Please realise that she is Tatum's stepmother, and because of this, Tatum might just have an agenda in writing such things about her.

    I recorded it and just finished watching it this morning. I almost didn't watch it because it was really scary in my situation. She handled things with grace, though, I'm glad I watched it.

    like someone else said, it wasn't a biography so they wouldn't include that. it was just about her last 2 years living with cancer.
    There is always someone bigger and badder than you!

    I watched it and cried too. My mom died from colon cancer so it was like reliving it. God Bless Farrah and may she pass with peace. I really thought she put herself out there showing the true emotions involved in cancer. She has shown great courage and faith. I really hope she gets her miracle but if not God will embrace her in heaven. I am sure she made mistakes in life as we all have so who am I to judge her? My prayers are with her.

    I don't know their history (Tatum and Farrah), was it a bad relationship or only when Ryan and her broke it off? All I know is bless Ryan for being there for her and loving her so much.
    I had to tape the last 1/2 hour to watch tonight but already I know its gonna be emotional.
