Fawcett not 'seeking experimental treatment'

Friends of Farrah Fawcett have denied claims that the actress is preparing to die from cancer.

According to the Sunday Mirror, the former Charlie's Angels star has flown to Germany to seek "aggressive experimental treatment" in a final bid to beat the disease.

However, filmmaker Craig Nevius has told Access Hollywood that the report is untrue, claiming that the actress is visiting the country to shoot material for her forthcoming documentary.

Nevius admitted that Fawcett would be "tested" by her doctors while she was there but denied speculation that she was seeking "alternative treatment". He added that reports she had dismissed all of her staff were untrue, insisting that the 62-year-old was planning to return to LA soon.

Another close friend of the star has told Entertainment Tonight that Fawcett visits Germany every few months for "routine treatment". Alana Stewart added that she remained in "good spirits" and was "positive and hopeful" about her condition.

Fawcett was first diagnosed with anal cancer in 2006. She was given the all-clear one year later but the disease returned within a few months, prompting her to describe it as "the terrorist inside my body".
