Cher says her showbiz pal Farrah Fawcett is 'cancer free.' The diva dished the good news about her friend's condition during an interview on U.S. telly last night.
Charlie's Angels star Farrah underwent experimental treatment at a German clinic.
Fawcett was first diagnosed with anal cancer in September 2006. She was originally declared cancer-free in February 2007, but doctors found new cancer cells just three months later.
Now the star is once again in complete remission, according to Cher. The 61-year-old singer said: "She's tough. I don't think I could've gone through what she did.
"She is now cancer free so this will be a real interesting thing."
Cher told U.S. show Access Hollywood that it was her that encouraged Farrah to visit the German cinic for treatment. "It is a completely different kind of treatment," Cher said.
"She had the cancer and then it went to her liver and so what they do there is, instead of giving you chemo all over, they do a thing called embolization where they take whatever chemo that they were going to give you and they put it directly into the tumors into your liver."
Cher said she used the clinic herself to rid herself of the debilitating Epstein-Barr virus that left her bedridden for two years.
