Fawcett’s cancer spread to liver, producer says Former ‘Charlie's Angels’ star, 62, has been battling disease since 2006
NEW YORK - Farrah Fawcett is being treated for anal cancer that has spread to her liver, a producer who worked with the actress said Monday in detailing a more serious situation than has previously been described.
In separate phone interviews with The Associated Press, Fawcett’s producer and her doctor said that Fawcett is in a Los Angeles hospital, recovering from complications from a medical procedure in Germany, and is “not on death’s door,” as the producer put it.
“She had a minor procedure. That procedure led to a small amount of bleeding into a muscle in her abdominal wall,” which created a sac of blood that caused pressure and pain, said her Los Angeles cancer specialist, Dr. Lawrence Piro.
It was “a simple procedure” and a standard one, although Fawcett also has pursued experimental treatments in Germany, he added.

You must have been there because nobody else has ever heard of FF being connected to porn!
Besides, it doesn't "cause" anal cancer.
I'm throwing the BS flag...
You mean those Fawcett movies that were played out in your mind and the palm of your hand?
Sounds like she had a liver biopsy that caused her abdominal problem. My ex-wife was diagnosed with localized rectal cancer 2 years ago and opted for a radical excision with a permanent colostomy. A great, great gal that doesn’t deserve this terrible disease. Without any radiation or chemotherapy, she is doing quite well. Only time will tell and I wish her and Ms Fawcett my best wishes and my prayers.
Don’t want you to miss an opportunity
If you’ve got one, it can unfortunately become cancerous.
Here’s a few more from that shoot: http://www.allposters.com/-sp/Farrah-Fawcett-Posters_i1494623_.htm
Are you drunk or something?
Don’t you have anything better
to do ?
No 8 years sober today. Just home for lunch
Prayers for this woman and any others suffering...
You're right. It makes no sense to treat cancer with any kind of stem cells, especially embryonic (they cause teratomas). It think she got caught up in a scam, like the cancer clinics in Mexico.
Saturn 3 was hardly porn as Kirk Douglass was in it.
Where were those pictures shot? They look like they could have been taken in Corpus Christi.
I didn’t say it was.
Congratulations.
I read the article. Her doc says she DID NOT GET STEM CELL TREATMENT in Germany.
Marina Del Rey California I’m pretty sure
I forgot about that movie
Anal cancer has been linked to infection with Human Papilloma Virus which more commonly causes cervical cancer.
