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.
