Fawcett 'doing very well' in cancer battle

Cancer-fighting star FARRAH FAWCETT has stopped receiving chemotherapy treatment and is doing well in her ongoing battle against the disease, according to her representative.

Fawcett, who was diagnosed with anal cancer in September 2006, underwent surgery to remove the tumour and began a course of chemotherapy and radiation before she was declared cancer-free.

In the spring of 2007 the former Charlie's Angels star learned that the cancer had returned and subsequently flew to Germany to receive an advanced round of treatment.

Now her close friend and spokesperson Craig Nevius tells U.S. news show Access Hollywood the actress is doing very well after returning from Europe six months ago.

Nevius explains that Fawcett, who turned 62 on Monday (02Feb09), is no longer undergoing chemotherapy but is receiving follow-up care and is concentrating on improving her immune system.
