Farrah turns to ex during cancer treatment

Actress Farrah Fawcett has enlisted the help of ex Ryan O’Neal as she prepares to undergo treatment for anal cancer.

O’Neal told People magazine he accompanied Fawcett, 59, to a chemotherapy treatment on Monday.

“She’s so strong,” he says. “I love her. I love her all over again.”

In a statement released through her publicist last week, Fawcett said she will receive six weeks of “cutting edge, state-of-the-art treatment” to battle anal cancer.

This is not the first time Fawcett and O’Neal, who ended their 17-year relationship in 1997, have reunited to fight a medical battle.

Fawcett helped care for the 65-year-old actor in 2001 when he was diagnosed with chronic myelogenous leukaemia.

The couple have a 21-year-old son, Redmond.
