Farrah Fawcett cancer free no longer

farrah_fawcett2.jpg Farrah Fawcett had been cancer free since February, but unfortunately was told earlier this week that her cancer has returned.

“She was completely devastated at first,” says her close friend Craig Nevius “And then, as is her way – as was the case the last time – she became much stronger and started dealing with it, and she’s beginning to make a plan.”

Farrah got the news after she had her first three month checkup. Doctors discovered a malignant polyp about the size of a pea. Fawcett is still deciding what course of treatment she’ll try this time round.

“She didn’t have a chance to tell some of her family yet,” says Nevius. “It is now clear that the tabloids are as invasive and malignant as cancer.”

Fawcett had been feeling fine and didn’t feel any effects of the re-occurrence.

She’d originally been diagnosed with anal cancer last September. She went through a full series of treatments and was declared cancer free on February 2nd this year.

Well, I’ll be wishing her the best in her new fight with this nasty illness. I’m sure it’s not good that the cancer has returned again so quickly.

Farrah Fawcett is cancer free

farrah_fawcett180.jpg Farrah Fawcett just got great news from her doctor – She’s Cancer Free.

“Her prognosis is excellent,” Dr. Gary Gitnick, Fawcett’s lead physician at the David Geffen School of Medicine at the University of California, Los Angeles, said in a statement, adding that Fawcett “has had a full and complete response to treatment.”

Farrah first revealed that she’d been diagnosed with Cancer last October. In her statement on Friday she said “This is an extraordinarily happy day for me and my family. I have been on a journey for the past four months and during this time received a tremendously aggressive treatment which doctors initially warned me would be the most difficult fight of my life.”

She continued, “In the face of excruciating pain and uncertainly, I never lost hope and it never occurred to me to stop fighting – not ever.”

Fellow Angel Kate Jackson, who helped lend support while Fawcett was undergoing treatment, said, “I have never seen anyone go through so much with such dignity and determination. I am in awe of her strength and courage.”

Fawcett’s spokesman, Mike Pingel, said the actress plans to mark her birthday Friday with family and friends, and hopes to go back to work “in the next month or two.”

Fawcett also said, “I hope that my news might offer some level of inspiration to others who unfortunately must continue to fight the disease.”
