LOS ANGELES, Calif. --

Contrary to a report by a British tabloid, Farrah Fawcett did not say her final goodbyes to her loved ones before she headed to Germany for a last ditch medical treatment for her cancer.

While Fawcett is indeed in Germany, it was to shoot portions of her upcoming documentary.

The 62-year-old actress is currently in Germany because she’s filming her documentary and she is there to interview her doctors, Farrah’s documentary producer, Craig Nevius, told Access Hollywood.

According to the UK’s Sunday Mirror, the former “Charlie’s Angels” actress had flown to Germany for an “aggressive experimental treatment in a desperate attempt to live.”

The Mirror also claimed Fawcett dismissed all of her staff before heading abroad.

However, Nevius said although she will be tested by her doctors while she’s there, the story about her preparing to die is not true. He also noted the actress will be headed back to the U.S. soon.

Fawcett was first diagnosed with anal cancer in 2006.
