With her documentary and her telling her story of having the anal cancer she has at least made people more aware of the cancer. Its a shame that Farrah Fawcett died of this.

Medical coverage a must. Medical insurance will not pay for the test until your 52 yrs old. And only if they find a polyp at that 'one' test will I be able to have another one at age 56 (5 yrs later) paid for by insurance. The test only takes 5 minutes. Cost is out of this world.
