Farrah Fawcett Released From Hospital
Actress has been battling cancer since 2006.
April 9, 2009 -- Actress Farrah Fawcett has been released from a Los Angeles-area hospital, her representative said.
Fawcett is "at home and on the mend" after being picked up at an undisclosed hospital by her longtime companion, actor Ryan O'Neal, according to Fawcett's representative, Craig Nevius.
Fawcett, the 62-year-old iconic American actress, recently suffered internal bleeding as a result of her cancer diagnosis.
"She's walking and in great spirits and looking forward to celebrating Easter at home," her physician, Dr. Lawrence Piro, told People magazine, which first reported Fawcett's release. "Her home has been stocked with her favorite teas and food, and she's looking forward to enjoying them."
The former "Charlie's Angels" star was diagnosed with anal cancer in 2006. Although doctors declared her free of cancer in February 2007, a few months later they learned that the cancer had returned.
Fawcett's alternative approach to her cancer treatment has been surrounded by controversy. After her initial diagnosis, Fawcett received traditional treatments in California.
