Actress Farrah Fawcett is well known for her role on the cult classic television show “Charlie’s Angels”, but sadly now she is battling for her life. In 2006, she was diagnosed with anal cancer and went into remission in 2007 but the cancer returned a short time later.
Fawcett experienced some bleeding in one of the muscles of her abdomen after arriving in Los Angeles from Germany late last week and checked into an unnamed hospital. Her doctors report she left the hospital Thursday and is now resting at home.
Sadly, the 62 year-old actress’s prognosis is very poor and she is getting weaker and weaker by the day. The anal cancer that she has had spread to her liver, she has undergone treatments for her cancer in the United States and in Germany but the treatments have not cured her cancer. Anal cancer is a very rare form of cancer and less than five thousand people a year in the United States will contract the disease. Most people who have the disease live five years or longer so it is very surprising that Farrah Fawcett’s cancer has progressed this fast in a few years.
Farrah Fawcett has been in a romantic relationship with actor Ryan O’Neal for many years; they also have a son together Redmond. Ryan O’Neal has stated that Farrah is confined to her bed, has lost a lot of her hair, and is not receiving any more medical treatments.
“I rub her head. It’s kind of fun, actually, this great, tiny little head. How she carried all that hair I’ll never know. She doesn’t have a vanity about it,” O’Neal said.
At this stage the doctors are just keeping her as comfortable as they can; hopefully Farrah will get a miracle and recover but according to Ryan, her outlook is bleak.
I have watched and loved Farrah for as long as I can remember. She is an inspiration to all of us, I hold her close to my heart.
My thoughts and prayers go out to her and her family. God works miracles all the time, but sometimes He has a better plan for us and only He knows what that plan is. Farrah has a lot of faith and that faith is what will see her through this trail.
May God bless and keep her in His arms.
