Charlie’s Angels star opens up about her cancer battle
Tuesday, 12 May 2009
Farrah Fawcett has broken her silence over her cancer.
And the Charlie’s Angels star, 62, admits she would have preferred to battle the disease in private.
‘It’s much easier to go through something and deal with it without being under a microscope,’ she tells the Los Angeles Times.
‘It is stressful. I was terrified of getting the chemo. It’s not pleasant. And the radiation is not pleasant.’
Farrah gave the interview in August, but the paper agreed not to publish it until yesterday.
It ties in with a two-hour documentary she filmed about her cancer, which airs in the US on 15 May.
‘It becomes your life,’ Farrah says of her cancer. ‘People call, “How are you?” “How do you feel?” “We’re praying for you.” “Do you still have hair?” “What do you feel like?”
‘When every single call is that kind of call, it’s all you talk about. It’s all-consuming. Then, your quality of life is never the same.’
Farrah's long-term partner Ryan O'Neal, 68, is caring for her.
