Ailing actress Farrah Fawcett has been dealt another setback in her battle against cancer -- the disease has spread to her liver.
The former Charlie's Angels star, 62, checked into a hospital in Los Angeles on Thursday – two and a half years after publicly disclosing her illness.
Her doctor Lawrence Piro has since explained she was being treated for complications of an undisclosed medical procedure, which caused abdominal bleeding and a hematoma (internal sac of blood) that were not directly linked to her cancer.
But while in the hospital, scans have indicated that Fawcett's rectal cancer has spread to other organs in her body, reports the New York Daily News.
Fawcett's producer pal Craig Nevius says, "Not only has (the cancer) recurred, it metastasized to her liver."
But Nevius is adamant that Fawcett remains optimistic about her battle, adding: "She’s doing fantastic. Her fight goes on... She’s not going anywhere anytime soon.”
