Members Chris B Posted October 5, 2006 Members Share Posted October 5, 2006 TV legend Farrah Fawcett is battling cancer, The ENQUIRER has learned exclusively. Doctors discovered a malignant tumor in her lower intestine and blasted it with radiation to shrink it, sources say. After surgery to remove the deadly cancer, the 59-year-old former "Charlie's Angels" star faces chemotherapy and more grueling radiation treatments. The devastating news came after Farrah's triumphant appearance August 27 at the Emmy Awards, when she unveiled a stunning new look during a reunion with "Angels" co-stars Jaclyn Smith and Kate Jackson. But it's brought her back together with longtime love Ryan O'Neal, who's survived his own battle with leukemia. "After Farrah got the diagnosis — cancer of the anus and lower intestine — she was devastated. Everyone in the family cried for days," a longtime family friend told The ENQUIRER. ---------------- Yes it's the Enquirer, but Farrah has confirmed it so it's true. Very sad news, I wish her the best and I hope she has a speedy recovery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members David_Vickers Posted October 5, 2006 Members Share Posted October 5, 2006 Sad to hear this. Hopefully they caught it in time and she'll end up fine. My dad had the exact same type of cancer and 5 years later is doing fine. He had to have 2 surgeries, one to have the colon rerouted to a colostemy bag and then chemo and radiation (to shrink the tumor) and then finally the surgery to remove the tumor and about a 12 inch section of his lower intestine and to remove the colostemy bag. He's been cancer free now for about 4 1/2 years and counting. He almost waited too long, in fact doctors told him if he waited about a month later, it'd been too late.
