Farrah Fawcett has been hospitalized and is in bad shape, sources close to family and friends tell RadarOnline.com exclusively.
She has been battling cancer for three years and recently returned from Germany, where she had experimental stem-cell treatment. Sources tell RadarOnline.com that she is critical but stable in a Los Angeles-area hospital.
Long-time love Ryan ONeal has been by Farrahs bedside, as has troubled son Redmond, who bolted from rehab earlier this week.
Farrah was diagnosed with anal cancer in 2006 and later pronounced cancer free at a press conference.
It is not known whether she will survive.
This is a posting to all on the thread. I’m a radiation oncologist; colon cancer, rectal cancer and anal canal cancers are all very different. Farrah Fawcett was diagnosed with anal canal carcinoma, which is most frequently caused by HPV. HPV causes most cervical cancers as well. It’s also increasing associated with oropharyngeal cancers.
I pray that she recovers from her malignancy.
I had her poster on my wall in my college dorm room. At the time, she was on one of the loveliest and most stylish creatures in the Good Lord’s creation. My best to her and her family in this, their most difficult of times..
I had the cut. My husband kiddingly called me Sara Spigot. Still makes me laugh. Prayers for Farah.
yup
My mom was going through chemo and radiation back in 2006 (for lung cancer). The Cleveland Clinic has a little shuttle for those going for radiation. She met a young man in his 40’s who had anal cancer. They struck up a nice friendship and he was so loving and kind to my mom. He died last year. My mom is going strong (so far, so good). He was very reticent about saying what he had b/c people would give him weird looks.
No. Colon cancer is completely different from anal cancer. Colon cancer is, as you can guess, inside the colon. Anal cancer is within the anus or rectum.
Just because you can get it from what you say doesn’t mean she did. Try and be charitable now. You never know what’s coming your way.
I almost got one. But, nah!
Gosh, you mean that was you in the 90's? :)
*whew!* I thought you meant your anus. That was before I looked at your previous reply.
LOL!
And so I’m I
I still don't get what point you wish to make.
LOL!
Thank you for the info.
