Farrah Fawcett Battling Cancer

(AP)  Farrah Fawcett, recently found to have cancer, said Friday she is maintaining a positive attitude and expects to recover completely.

"I am determined to bite the bullet and fight the fight while going through the next six weeks of cutting edge, state-of-the-art treatment," the 59-year-old actress said in a statement. "I should be able to return to my life as it was before."

Her publicist, Mike Pingel, didn't reveal what kind of cancer Fawcett has but said it was recently diagnosed and involves a fast-growing tumor.

The actress, who appeared with her former "Charlie's Angels" co-stars at an Emmy tribute in August to the late TV producer Aaron Spelling, said she has been overwhelmed by the "outpouring of concern, love, prayers and compassion" she has received from people around the world.

"I deeply believe in one's own positive will to overcome even the most daunting challenges," she said.

My thoughts and prayers are with you Farrah. You are a fighter and I have every confidence you will be well again. Continue to let your bright smile shine.

OMG! Her choices in life good or bad is her business, it has nothing to do with her illness. My prayers are with you Farrah. Get well soon.

Farah, You are beautiful! You will live to be 103 or more and the truth is, that when you left Charlie's Angels, the show wasn't worth watching. Spelling made the biggest mistake of his life and should have paid you what you were asking. Visit hemple.net/ernie and click on the song Love You. It was written for you. wishuwell live long!

She hasn't done anything to me. What she did was shoot her own career in the foot. I don't know if you're old enough to remember the occurance, but she made some outrageous demands regarding salary as one of Charlie's Angels and Aaron Spelling told her to get lost.

Her co-stars had a better sense of what they were worth to the show and continued on. Farah got kicked off the bus for her stupidity and her career went downhill from there.

She is still an angel, (now not one of Charlie's though)but nevertheless always will be. Angels who get sick recover and rebound on an immensely speedy recovery rate.

Hey exusmcsgt, aren't we a bit judgmental and harsh? What did she do to you?

[peace0000]

It would be nice to have the full story. Why won't they reveal what type of cancer? What difference would it make to us? She would still have our sympathy.

I wish her the best. And a fast recovery.
