Farrah Fawcett

Posted Apr 16 2009 12:24am
Farrah Fawcett was diagnosed with anal (colorectal) cancer in 2006 and went through treatment including surgery and chemotherapy. One year later she was pronounced "cancer free" but in May 2007 a recurrence was found. What she did next is the subject of plenty of gossip columns. She has recently divulged that the cancer has metastasized to her liver.

She reportedly considered keeping her cancer secret to protect her privacy - but filmed her struggle and treatments for a possible reality show. The footage has been picked up by NBC as the documentary A Wing and A Prayer. There is no known air date.

In a strange note she is the last of the original Charlie's Angels to be diagnosed with cancer. Kate Jackson and Jaclyn Smith are both breast cancer survivors.
