Iconic beauty Farrah Fawcett, looking gaunt and exhausted, vowed to keep fighting the cancer that is slowly killing her and appealed to higher powers for a “miracle” cure.
“I want to stay alive,” a weakened Fawcett said. “So I say to God, because it is after all, in his hands. It is seriously time for a miracle.”
“Cancer is a disease that is mysterious, headstrong and makes its own rules,” she said. “And mine, to this date, is incurable. I know that everyone will die eventually, but I do not want to die of this disease.”
The TV star is set to share her years-long struggle with cancer during a two-hour special Friday night on NBC “Farrah’s Story,” which will include heart-wrenching hospital room scenes of Fawcett and her family.
Despite the obvious physical toll that cancer has taken on Fawcett, the timeless sex symbol insisted she’s not given up.
Fawcett’s greatest claim to fame is role in the ABC breakout hit “Charlie’s Angels,” where she played gorgeous gumshoe Jill Munroe
The TV Angel said she never believed, in her worst nightmares, that cancer would invade her body in 2006 and take her down this sad path toward death’s door.
“Of all the things I’ve ever hoped for in my life, finding a doctor to surgically remove my anal cancer did not even make the top one million on my list,” said Fawcett, 62.
“But now it was No. 1, No. 1 as in, primary cancer, meaning it was the first in and for that reason, it needed to be the first out.”

Friday night’s intimate look at Fawcett’s treatment follows the actress to her various medical appointments in Los Angeles, and to Germany where she met doctors there for more aggressive treatment efforts.
Despite some initial success fighting anal cancer, the disease has since spread to her liver and Fawcett said she knows the odds are stacked against her.
“Because it was this peanut sized tumor that had sent its army of mutant cells into my liver,” she said. “And it would continue to send reinforcements into any organ into my body unless someone did something to stop it.”
