LOS ANGELES : Actress Farrah Fawcett who was hospitalised in Los Angeles after a fresh setback in her three-year fight against cancer, is set to return home this week.
According to her doctor, Fawcett who was admitted late last week, is recovering from a procedure in Germany and "remains in good spirits".
"If everything goes as we hope, we plan to discharge her later in the week," said Dr Lawrence Piro.
Piro has nothing but respect and praise for the 62-year-old actress, who he said has been "in great shape her whole life" and showed an "incredible resolve and incredible resilience."
Fawcett first learnt of her anal cancer in September 2006. She declared herself free of cancer four months later but the disease returned in 2007.
According to reports, Fawcett returned to Germany a week ago for a “minor procedure” that caused a small amount of bleeding in one of the muscles of her abdomen. This is one out of the many trips that Fawcett has made to Germany to seek treatment.
Meanwhile Fawcett's representative, Craig Nevius, has denied rumours that the actress is unconscious and that her cancer had spread to her liver.
"She's not on death's door," he said.
Prior to her most recent trip to Germany, Fawcett had documented and shared the footage of her medical trips with entertainment television shows.
Fawcett first rose to fame as a pinup model with a sexy swimsuit poster in the 1970s. Following that, she was cast in Aaron Spelling’s hit TV show “Charlie’s Angels” as Jill Munroe, a glamorous undercover detective, in 1976.
Despite leaving the show after its first season, that role put her on the map in Hollywood.
She went on to snag Emmy nominations for her role as a survivor of domestic violence in “The Burning Bed” in 1984 as well as for her roles in 1989’s “Small Sacrifices” and 2001’s “The Guardian”.
