14 DAY TRIAL // Yesterday, a close friend of “Charlie’s Angels” star Farrah Fawcett rubbished reports that the actress had been rushed to an LA hospital unconscious and in critical condition. The 62-year-old actress had been hospitalized for a minor procedure and she would be returning home soon, Craig Nevius said, at the same time confirming speculation that the cancer had spread to her liver as well, as The Huffington Post can confirm.
“Confirmation that the cancer had spread to such a distant site was dire news. The 62-year-old ‘Charlie’s Angels’ star was diagnosed with anal cancer in 2006, and originally was treated at The Ronald Reagan UCLA Medical Center with chemotherapy and radiation – not surgery as some have reported, Nevius said. She was declared in remission on Feb 2, 2007, but three months later, scans showed ‘not only had it recurred, it metastasized to her liver,’ Nevius said. The latest treatment in Germany tried to address the cancer’s spread to that organ, he said.” The Post writes.
Initial reports had it that Fawcett had been rushed to the hospital in critical condition and that the entire family had gathered to say good bye to her since it was uncertain whether she would survive. This was far from the truth, Nevius, who worked with Farrah on a show documenting her fight with cancer, “A Wing and a Prayer,” explained. Moreover, he added, she was in fine spirits and would continue to battle the disease, regardless of the most recent complications.
“She’s on the mend and will be going home very shortly. She’s doing fantastic. Her fight goes on… She’s not going anywhere anytime soon. She remains in good spirits with her usual sense of humor. She’s been in great shape her whole life and has an incredible resolve and an incredible resilience. Let me tell you what she’s not. As previously reported by everybody, she’s not unconscious. She is not on death’s door. The family has not gathered to say goodbye.” Nevius stated for the aforementioned publication.
As of now, Farrah Fawcett remains in the hospital following a complication from a procedure she underwent in Germany, where she’s being treated for cancer. The most recent photos of the actress showing her being wheeled around in a wheelchair at LAX are also because the unforeseen complication, both Nevius and her personal physician have told The Post.
