Doctors recently informed television legend Farrah Fawcett she has cancer. Fawcett declined to release to the media the type of cancer, but her rep claimed it involves a fast-growing tumor. The Charlies Angels star kept a positive attitude and firmly believes she will beat the disease.
"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."
The "outpouring of concern, love, prayers and compassion" she received from fans touched Fawcett.
"I deeply believe in one's own positive will to overcome even the most daunting challenges," she said.
