Fawcett Clings To Life?

Farrah Fawcett is battling a rare form of cancer and rumors have her in various stages of the fight.

Farrah Fawcett at the 2004 MTV Video Awards Farrah Fawcett was the poster child (check that, woman) of the â€˜70s. Everyone wanted her hairdo that made The Rachel seem like small potatos.

It is a sad day in the Charlie's Angels universe to hear the sixty-two-year old has been hospitalized in Los Angeles since April 2. Fawcett has been battling cancer since 2006 and has also had to battle exaggerated stories in the press.

Any time we hear about her in the news, similar to Patrick Swayze, we can't help but offer our prayers first and foremost and then wonder how truly exaggerated are the stories?

Farrah, however, has hope according to her physician. He also said a photo of her appearing in a wheelchair was due to having a small procedure done in Germany.

Fawcett left for the airport soon after the procedure and wanted to go home rather than recuperating in the hospital for a few days. Could you imagine taking a nine hour flight right after a procedure? Well, the procedure caused some bleeding in her abdomen resulting in pain. She had problems walking, hence the wheelchair.

Now she's able to walk and is cracking jokes. Farrah's cancer went into remission and then returned two years ago in May. The actress has undergone chemotherapy and aggressive alternative treatments and is expected to go home in a few days.

Farrah I had anal cancer 10 yrs ago at the age of 43. I'm 52 yrs old now and still suffer for the effects of the disease. With radiation and chemo it was the worse pain I have ever endured.

LIKE THE REPORTS SAID SHE HAD A SURGERY IN GERMANY AND CAME HOME SOONER THEN SHE SHOULD HAVE AND IT CAUSED A HEMATOMA. WHEN SOMEONE HAS CANCER THERE ARE MINOR TO MAJOR SETBACKS.IT DOES NOT MEAN SOMEONE IS LOSING THE BATTLE.SHE HAS FOUGHT FOR 3 YEARS AND IT SEEMS TO ME SHE CONTINUES TO FIGHT AND LOOKS LIKE SHE'S WINNING.ALOT OF PAST INFO IS BEING SPREAD AROUND DUE TO THE FACT THAT PARTS OF HER DOCUMENTARY HAVE BEEN LEAKED TO THE MEDIA AND PAST INFORMATION FROM THE DOCUMENTARY ARE BEING MADE TO SEEM AS RECENT NEWS.MOST OF THE INFO IS FROM 2007-08 AND ITS BEING MADE TO LOOK LIKE ITS RECENT HEALTH PROBLEMS.THE CANCER SPREAD IN 2007 NOT IN 2009. ACCESS HOLLYWOOD MADE THAT CLEAR IT SPREAD IN 2007.STOP READING ONLINE TABLOID SITES AND STOP GETTING INFORMATION FROM ENTERTAINMENT TONIGHT

We are all losing the fight. Most of us just don't accept it. God Bless, Farrah. May you find joy in each day you're alive here on earth.

As someone who has cancer, I have never been 'hospitalized for a week for a minor procedure' - am wondering what is really going on with Farrah? I wish her (and all with this nasty disease) only the best!
