The Treatment
Farrah chose typical treatment at UCLA, which included chemotherapy and radiation. Stewart recalled, “The radiation and chemo were just devastating.” She continued, “She had no idea how devastating and how difficult it was going to be.” At first, it worked. Stewart said, “Three months later, it was gone, and we were celebrating.” Things were looking well, but sadly, it didn’t last. Her cancer returned in May 2007, which is sad. It was even more terrifying this time. Her cancer had progressed to stage 4 and had spread to her liver. “She found out that day that the cancer had come back. Which was a huge shock to all of us,” Stewart recalled.

Being An Inspiration
Stewart went on to tell ABC how they started filming at that point. “We just started filming everything. It was just me and a little camera, and her. She wanted to document it because she wanted to, first of all, remember the things that her doctors said, what they were doing, and that’s kind of how the whole documentary started.” They documented her entire journey in order to share her challenges with the rest of the world, hoping to inspire others and show them that they are not alone. Farrah Fawcett, a huge and beautiful star, could get sick, too, and she truly wanted people to relate to her story.
