In the famous words of Monty Python: "I'm not dead yet!"

As of this morning, Daily News says:

Actress and former "Charlie's Angel" Farrah Fawcett has reportedly been in the hospital since Thursday.

The 62-year-old sex symbol has been battling cancer for the last three years. Although she went into remission, it returned in the spring of 2007.

A jubilant Fawcett erroneously announced in early 2007 that she was cancer free.

"In the face of excruciating pain and uncertainly, I never lost hope and it never occurred to me to stop fighting – not ever," she said in a statement to fans.

Fawcett told "Extra" after her last hospital stint that she "never can say for sure" how she is doing in her cancer battle, adding "it's ongoing."

The actress previously sought alternative medicine treatments in Germany, which she later said were "tiring."

People.com confirmed Fawcett had been hospitalized. Earlier in the evening, Radaronline.com first indicated she was unconscious and long-time boyfriend Ryan O'Neal was with her.

It's hard to say because we're not doctors and not even doctors really know-cancer's unpredictable. But as far as the news say, it's just a small malignant polyp and it hasn't seem to spread. So that's definitely in her favor.

I hate to say that someone's going to die. I hope she'll be fine and if it's just a small polyp it can be removed with surgery and then she'll have chemo. She can survive it.

From E! News:
Three months after being given the all clear, the former Charlie's Angels star has confirmed that doctors found a small malignant polyp in the same area where she was treated for anal cancer earlier this year.

The cancer has not spread, Chasing Farrah executive producer Craig Nevius told E! News, and "physically, she is doing great," adding that Fawcett has been playing sports and painting.

Fawcett has also been spotted out and about with longtime companion Ryan O'Neal, who appears to have been right by her side throughout, and their 22-year-old son, Redmond.

She is still weighing her treatment options, which include having a small metal "seed" planted that will emit radiation, but Fawcett's previous experience battling the disease has only served to make her stronger, Nevius says.

I think that she expects to die rather soon, cancer is a vicious killer that can only physically be battled for a short while before it ravages your ability to fight back and you finally welcome death as a means of escape from the pain. She has tried all of the methods available to her financially and medically and has not really seen a change in her health. All that is left to do for her is pray that she goes quickly with as little suffering as possible. Farrah will always be an Icon for those of us who were growing up in the 70s. Thanks for all the smiles!
