Farrah Fawcett Cancer Update

HOLLYWOOD, Ca., Apr.6 (TOTI) --

Rumors that Farrah Fawcett is on 'deaths door' on are untrue, according to one of her close friends.

Farrah Fawcett, 62, a 1970's supermodel and former Charlie's Angel, was recently hospitalized after experiencing complications with alternative treatments for colorectal cancer. This is the second time she has battled the disease after being diagnosed with the rare form of cancer in 2006.

Producer, Craig Nevius told the AP, "She's doing fantastic. She's not going anywhere anytime soon."

Fawcett is expected to be released from the undisclosed hospital in a few days, according to Nevius.

Other celebrities fighting cancer include Patrick Swayze, 56, who was diagnosed with Stage 4 pancreatic cancer in January, 2008. Despite his illness, he has continued with his acting career and stars on the A&E series, The Beast.

British reality television star, Jade Goody, passed away on March 22, 2009 shortly after being diagnosed with cervical cancer. She was 27 years old and is survived by her newlywed husband, Jack Tweed and two young sons, Bobby and Freddie Brazier.
