Doing her best to manage a smile, a frail Farrah Fawcett arrives home in Los Angeles after cancer treatment in Germany. The 62-year-old actress has been battling intestinal cancer for two years, at one time being given the all-clear. But the 'terrorist' inside her body, as she calls it, has returned with a vengeance. Still battling: Farrah Fawcett arrives at Los Angeles international airport after a flight from Germany Still battling: Farrah Fawcett arrives at Los Angeles international airport after a flight from Germany In a red woolly hat and dark sunglasses, the actress best known for her role in the 1970s TV series Charlie's Angels was pale and weak as she was wheeled out at the airport.
She has been flying to and from Frankfurt for 18 months, where she is said to be having experimental stem cell therapy, unavailable in the U.S. Over the last few months, Miss Fawcett has been based at home in Burbank, California, where her on-off partner Ryan O' Neal, 67, has been helping to care for her. The couple have a 24-year-old son, Redmond.
The most harrowing moments of Miss Fawcett's cancer treatment have been filmed for a TV documentary, A Wing And A Prayer. Speaking about her decision to take part she has said: 'As much as I would have liked to keep my cancer private, I have a certain responsibility to those fighting their own fights who may benefit about learning from mine.'

I have a group prom picture from 1981 somewhere. All the girls were sporting the Farah curl back. And all the guys had neon tuxes.
"She has been flying to and from Frankfurt for 18 months, where she is said to be having experimental stem cell therapy, unavailable in the U.S."
Farrah darlin' .. your expose of this treatment, good or bad, is probably the biggest bomb the zero administration could ever receive.
We're praying for your recovery.
Their son’s name is Redmond? That was the name of O’Neal’s character in Barry Lyndon- Redmond Barry
I distinctly remember that the initial reports about her illness referred to as breast cancer, not intestinal.
I never knew ya’ Jen ... but if you had a Farrah hairdo ... you WERE somethin’.
sw
Have to admit I wsa more taken with Jaclyn than Farrah...
All 3 of the them have had some kind of cancer. I am not sure how Kate or Jacklyn are doing, but it is quite sad that it is so prevelant.
I was thinking the same thing. Hope Farrah comes out OK though.
Really? WTF? Were they snorting Agent Orange during breaks or something?
“Where she was having experimental stem cell treatment”. Oh boy.
What the hell kind of remark is that. I think it is very sad.
