Is Farrah Fawcett No Longer Cancer Free?

Friday May 18, 2007
Entertainment Tonight is reporting that actress Farrah Fawcett's cancer has returned and she vows to beat it again. According the tabloid show, doctors have found a small polyp in Farrah. No further details were released.

Fawcett just recently celebrated being cancer free earlier this year. She made this announcement on her website in February:

"This is an extraordinarily happy day for me and my family. I have been on a journey for the past four months and during this time received a tremendously aggressive treatment which doctors initially warned me would be the most difficult fight of my life. I was told they needed me to “bite the bullet” and that would require great courage and unfailing determination. In the face of excruciating pain and uncertainty, I never lost hope and it never occurred to me to stop fighting - not ever."
