Farrah Fawcett: "Not on Death's Door"

Farrah Fawcett

Your prayers have been answered, folks. Farrah Fawcett is not at death's door!

LA Now reports that her friend/producer Craig Nevius confirmed Monday to Associated Press that the 62-year-old "Charlie's Angels" star has been hospitalized for a blood clot, a side effect of treatment she underwent in Germany. But she's not near death.

"She's doing fantastic," Nevius said. "Her fight goes on ... She's not going anywhere anytime soon."

He added: "As previously reported by everybody, she's not unconscious. She is not on death's door. The family has not gathered to say goodbye."

This guy is producing Fawcett's documentary chronicling her fight against cancer, called "A Wing and a Prayer." The actress was diagnosed with the disease in late 2006. She had chemotherapy and radiation and was in remission in early 2007. However, a few months later, her cancer returned. She eventually pursued alternative therapy abroad.

Fawcett's doctor, Lawrence Piro, said that Fawcett had abdominal bleeding and a hematoma after undergoing aggressive alternative cancer treatments in Germany.

According to
a USA Today report, "Fawcett, 62, was diagnosed in 2006 with anal cancer, which has since spread to her liver ..."

Glad to hear that the one of the major targets of my unbridled adolescent lust is not about to kick the bucket.

I have been a little subdued since the reports of her "imminent demise" first surfaced.

God bless you and get well, Farrah.

That's powerfully great news. I've been mildly depressed since Drudge linked that sad article on Saturday.

Hang in there Farrah! You overcame that 6 Million Dollar jagoff; kick another pain in ass to the curb~!
