Is Farrah Fawcett dying of Cancer?
Actor Ryan O’Neal, the actress’ partner of more than 25 years has revealed that she is no longer receiving treatment because the illness has become terminal. Ryan says the cancer-stricken actress is bedridden as she clings to life.
“She stays in bed now,” Farrah’s longtime love said in a touching interview with PEOPLE on Thursday. “The doctors see that she’s comfortable …. The treatment has pretty much ended.”

Ryan says one of the cruelest parts of Farrah’s illness has been the loss of her beautiful wavy blonde hair –which was perhaps one of the most imitated looks by women in the ’70s.
“Her famous hair is gone. I have it at home. She didn’t care. I rub her head. It’s kind of fun, actually, this great, tiny little head. How she carried all that hair I’ll never know. She doesn’t have a vanity about it.”
Fawcett has battled cancer since 2006. The illness, which doctors originally thought to be colon cancer, went in remission, but returned in May 2007.
“It’s a love story. I just don’t know how to play this one. I won’t know this world without her. Cancer is an insidious enemy,” the 68-year-old Ryan added.
She will surely be remembered. Lets all prey that Farrah Fawcett will get through it without so much pain.
