She invited some friends over for emotional support when she shaved her hair, including Stewart. Stewart told ABC News that “She wasn’t sure she wanted the camera rolling, and I convinced her to let me keep it rolling because I thought it was going to be an important moment.” Piro also commented, saying, “It was very important for Farrah to shave her own head so that she was removing her hair, and cancer treatment wasn’t removing her hair.” Piro continued, “it’s kind of like that fine line between being a victim and a victor.” She was absolutely correct.

The Diagnosis
Stewart also recalled the shock and how no one expected Fawcett to be diagnosed with cancer at the age of 58. “Farrah was the last person that thought about getting sick,” she said. “Farrah was the Golden Girl to everyone, so it was such a shock, to the whole world, when she got cancer. It kind of goes to show you that you know, cancer doesn’t play favorites.” Stewart revealed that she had been experiencing symptoms for a long time before seeking medical help. “She had a test done, and they discovered that she had this cancer the size of a strawberry. So I called her, and she started to cry, and I think I started to cry.”
