Farrah Fawcett, who has battled cancer for almost three years is now bedridden, and treatment halted.

“She stays in bed now. The doctors see that she is comfortable. Farrah is on IVs but some of that is for nourishment. The treatment has pretty much ended,” he said in an interview Thursday.

The former Charlie’s Angels star has anal cancer, and has lost her tousled blonde hair that made her famous in the 1970’s. O’Neal keeps her locks at his home. “I rub her head. It’s kind of fun, actually, this great, tiny little head. How she carried all that hair I’ll never know. She doesn’t have a vanity about it,” O’Neal said.

Farrah believed she had beaten cancer only to find it had returned in 2007. But Farrah kept fighting. “There was always a courage there and a quiet dignity… I fell in love with her all over again because of how she handled this,” he said.

Farrah Fawcett, 62, will be in a documentary called “Farrah’s Story” about her cancer and treatments. Farrah is said to look “hauntingly gaunt” People magazine stated. Farrah’s son Redmond, 24, is seen climbing into her bed to curl up beside her while she sleeps. Redmond is in a Los Angeles jail for violating probation on drug charges.

Ryan O’Neal, 68, said Fawcett “‘hasn’t had last rites yet. We’re not there”.

O’Neal says Farrah still hopes for a miracle. He said: “It’s a love story. I just don’t know how to play this one. I won’t know this world without her. A week ago, Farrah said to me, ‘Am I going to make it?’ I said, ‘Yes, you’ll make it. And if you don’t, I’ll go with you’.”

Farrah’s condition has gotten worse and the cancer has now spread to her liver. Farrah’s 91-year-old father is expected to land in Los Angeles to say goodbye to his daughter.

This is heartbreaking news, our best to Farrah and her loved ones.
