The cancer-stricken former Charlie’s Angel leaves her home and family to grasp at a miracle.
Farrah Fawcett has all but given up hope she will survive the experimental stem cell therapy she once believed would save her life, saying goodbye to family and friends for a last attempt at treatment in Germany.
The actress, who gained international fame as Charlie’s Angel Jill Munroe in the late ’70s, recently left the US for what she reportedly fears is the final time.
Farrah, 62, was so sure she would not be returning to her Los Angeles home that she even let go her employees before leaving for the radical treatment. “She has told friends it is likely she won’t come back. She is exhausted and very ill,” a friend told Britain’s Sunday Mirror newspaper.
In a desperate effort to defy her LA doctors’ reported prognosis that she has just weeks to live, Farrah has returned to Germany for alternative therapies.
“She’s a hero. She’s fought so hard and so long, but she finds it very hard to go on with so many treatments,” the friend said. “It’s been a few years now since she’s had a normal life where she can just be herself.”
