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.

Alright, I confess....(wait, that post wasn't meant for RaCoCo)....never mind.
I am sorry for your loss. It must have been devastating.
I am not sure where they were shot. I stumbled upon the website look for Farrah pictures.
Prayers for her recovery.
I noticed the faint terrain in the background of one of the pictures. There’s no way it was shot in anywhere in Texas. The terrain along the Texas coast is rather flat. Anyway, a picture shot from the marina in Corpus Christi towards land would have buidings from downtown Corpus Christi in the background.
In their defense, it may be urban legend but as a teen, I also heard she did porn flicks in her early career. I also heard Stallone did them in his early career as well.

I also heard that a frog could fly if it had wings. Those jerks need to prove what they said!
Sounds like she is about done for. Probably time to make her peace with whomever.
I always thought she was pretty but for some reason never liked that famous poster. I guess just too many teeth or too phony looking a smile.
We used to call her “Pair O’ Faucets”.
Depends on what you mean by decent guy.
He aided and abetted his kids' drug use, knocked his son's 2 front teeth out, and was in an altercation with his son a couple of years ago where a shot was fired and he is highly suspected as having shot at his son.
Also, he was recently picked up for drug use himself.

Nobody's perfect. :)
If he is caring for her at this time in her life, good for him.
But with his history I still wouldn't call him a decent guy.
Looks like his post got yanked. Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.
If it were really linked to anal sex it would be more prevalent in gay men, you would think. I’m thinking gravity not anal sex may be a cause in women if HPV is to blame.
Cancer’s a terrible thing. I wish her well. Makes me feel older every time I hear about some hottie from my youth dealing with old age issues.
It just about killed me to see Cheryl Ladd doing ads for a menopause product. She still looks good (through soft lenses) but it is so sad to watch the hotties of my generation age.
Sounds logical.
When death is six blocks down and four blocks over, most people aren't afraid of him. When he's tapping on your shoulder, he's one big SOB.
