“While Farrah is prepared to continue the fight she began last fall, she is not prepared to allow the tabloids to continue to invade her privacy or use one confirmed truth as the foundation on which to build numerous fabricated articles which are always attributed to ‘unnamed sources’ — either because they are not credible or because they don’t exist,” Craig said in a statement released to Access. “Stories and headlines such as the National Enquirer’s December 18th cover claiming ‘FARRAH BEGS: LET ME DIE’ can only be regarded as knowingly false and purposefully malicious. Not only have these and other lies been hurtful to Farrah and her family but, as per her doctors, they have been potentially harmful to her recovery — not to mention the recovery of thousands of individuals who are also battling cancer, many of whom wrote to Farrah during her illness to thank her for setting a positive example and inspiring them to strengthen their resolve in their own fights.”While Farrah still believes ‘Positivity Is A Necessity,’ it is now clear that the tabloids are as invasive and malignant as cancer and must be dealt with in the same aggressive manner. With this in mind, Farrah refuses to be forced into making any statement until such time as she, and not anyone else, sees fit. Farrah knows that her fans (or any human being with a heart, soul or conscience) will understand and support her position.”According to the Enquirer’s report, Farrah’s doctors found a small, malignant polyp during a recent examination.Doctors were reportedly worried removing the polyp could increase the risk of the cancer spreading, so instead have opted to place a “small metallic seed” in the cancerous area, which will emit radiation designed to attack the polyp.Just last week, friends of Farrah’s were offering well wishes to the news she was still cancer-free.“I understand that she’s doing very, very well,” Cheryl Ladd told Access Hollywood. “Farrah is great and fine now. She was surrounded with love and lots of friends,” her former fellow “Angel” Jaclyn Smith told Access.Farrah was diagnosed with anal cancer in October 2006.
