I am glad I was not the only one who wondered how Farrah F. discovered her cancer and if she had colonoscopy and even wondered if colonoscopy would detect anal cancer. I was not sure if anal and rectal were the same cancers--so many questions and so many great answers and info on this website. The best thing to learn was from the person who is suffering from the identical cancer and sheds light on the fact that it is, in 90% of cases, stemming from human papilloma virus/HPV! I had no idea! They should be doing a follow up documentary for people to learn more about what to do to prevent these cancers. I am not sure yet how I feel about developing vaccines for everything that is "out there" - maybe some good sex education with emphasis on safe sex as soon as people become sexually active might be a good idea; or abstinence and fidelity. Not that I am thinking these things about Farrah, but the HPV enlightenment is a real eye opener for me.
