Farrah Fawcett ‘Banned’ From Seeing German Doctor
FARRAH Fawcett’s Celebrity Cancer continues to interest Anorak’s Man in LA:
EXCLUSIVE: Farrah Fawcett’s friends say Ryan O’Neal won’t let her see the German doctor who treated her cancer and extended her life
Farrah Fawcett’s Hollywood friends say Ryan O’Neal is stopping the iconic actress’s German doctor from treating or visiting her in what appears to be the final stages of her battle with cancer, and denying the Hollywood legend one last chance at survival.
Dr. Ursula Jacob took over Farrah’s anal and liver cancer treatment in 2007, after doctors in the United States said they could not help her. She arrived in Los Angeles from Germany last month with more experimental therapies that she said could extend the actress’ life or put the cancer in remission.
“Dr. Jacob was out here and told Farrah there was experimental treatment that she should try because at this point there’s nothing anyone else can do for her,” says producer Brett Hudson, who was treated with Farrah at the various kliniks in Germany.
“From what I’m told, Farrah tried the treatment for four days, but stopped because it made her feel sick. I know how sick she was. I was that sick, too. But that’s part of the process. Farrah stopped, and Ryan, who is now the gatekeeper, stopped all communication with Dr. Jacob.
“Dr. Jacob has tried to get in touch with Farrah. From what I’ve been told, Ryan shut her out. What do Farrah’s Hollywood friends think? The people you guys call ‘Farrah’s Hollywood friends’ are appalled! Dr. Jacob took on Farrah’s case after doctors here said there was nothing they could do for her. She did everything here, radiation and chemotherapy and it didn’t work. Only then did the doctors say, ‘You might as well try Germany.’
“That was almost two years ago. Dr. Jacob extended Farrah’s life. Now the doctor says she has nothing to lose. And after four days she stopped.
The latest outcry follows accusations from Greg Lott, Farrahs’ college beau and business partner that O’Neal suddenly cut off his access to his dear friend since the actor took over Farrah’s affairs on Easter.
O’Neal also took over control of the personal cancer documentary Farrah and her producing partner Craig Nevius had been preparing for two years. Nevius is suing, claiming the takeover was unlawful and that the final product, drastically reshot and re-edited by NBC News personnel, did not reflect Farrah’s visions and hopes for the documentary.
The documentary, which was turned into the NBC entertaiment special “Farrah’s Story,” a maudlin feature focusing on Farrah’s “love story” with O’Neal (star of the movie “Love Story”), was edited to diminish the credibility of Dr. Jacob and her colleagues, who use cutting edge, state-of-the-art treatment that is either not approved or used widely in the States.
In publicizing the TV product in which he played a big role, O’Neal said that Farrah’s cancer treatment “had pretty much ended.”
Hudson says his own cancer documentary project, Frozen Pictures’ The Klinik, will hit many of the tough issues removed from Farrah’s documentary, adds: “She’s in and out. She’s nearing the end.
“Ryan has shut Farrah off from everyone except for her American doctor and Alana Stewart. As far as we know, they’ve stopped all treatment. It’s pretty f—ing scary.”

Why in the world was she not given a liver transplant ,with all the millions paid to the supposed so called Doctors trying to fix a condemned non-functional organ. Even alcoholics are on waiting lists for liver transplants. They are getting a better deal than she. FURTHERMORE there are people out who loved her so that they would have given her a functional working organ. Those doctors should be sued for criminal mal practice. They led her astray but become wealthy at her expanse.Shame.

dairy, unfortunately, she can make anyone the Power of Attorney over her, her money, and her decisions concerning her healthcare. Although, I do believe that he cares for her and that they have had a true “Love Story”, I find it laughable that he NOW wants to marry her when she is apparently so sick and close to death! AND, if she does decides to marry him, he will quite obviously have alot to gain monetarily wise or I don’t believe that he would just now, after all of these years, realize that she is worthy of being called his wife. Just my opinion tho! I think most of the LOVE from the heart is from her and the LOVE of the money to come is on his part! I really hope that her mindset is the same that she has for the tabloids in the fact that she is going to have the last laugh, so to speak, and not marry him because he never wanted to marry her before now. I just pray that he doesn’t prey upon her when she gets so weak and not clearminded due to the cancer, that he ends up taking advantage of her to the fullest and tricks or entices her into marriage! I’m sorry, but he is really starting to sound like a vulture now…denying her more treatments and not letting certain people go to see her. DEFINATELY a CONTROLLER and NOT THAT OF SOMEONE WHO SHOULD CALL HIMSELF HER CARETAKER!!!!!! Once again, just my opinion!! I REALLY WISH HER THE BEST!

you’re lucky, C&C - I’ve been on the naughty step for months with no reason given why I have been such a bad girl……
Moderator - The software is on the Naughty Step…..

or maybe the naughty step? I can spell. really I can!
June 4th, 2009 at 11:45 am
See I’m back in moderation. Is that a bit like the nuaghty step??

I read in a US paper some time ago that FF was almost broke having spent most of her fortune on the German quack and all the to-ing and fro-ing for the crazy ‘unconventional’ treatments that he promised would cure her. Hah!
This doctor has been investigated before (allegedly) and found wanting!
I met Farrah many years ago (late 1970’s?) when she was promoting Faberge products and was in London with Ryan O’N doing the rounds. I envied her so much…. now I say a silent thank-you that I’m not like her right now.
IMO Ryan O’N (who has plenty of his own money) really does love her and is doing his best to make her last days comfortable. I saw a clip of the documentary and it moved me.
Leave them all be I say. Must be heartbreaking for everyone.

No idea what the US laws are, but Power of Attorney here in the UK still has to behave responsibly and is answerable for any untoward power/control trips, and I’d reckon its similar over there , Cheryl?????

It would be her own doctor who would decide on further treatment wouldn’t it? Ryan must have been given control over her then.
June 4th, 2009 at 9:22 am
Seems an absolute control freak to say the least
June 4th, 2009 at 9:08 am
surely in a situation like that, absolutely anything is worth a try - who is he to deny her that right? he’s not the one running out of time…..

Well, if that’s the case renee, (and very often is the greedy partner who cuts off folks from the dying one) Ryan will be chased like mad through the courts for the cash. It will be interesting then to see Ryan pay for his greed.

Don’t be daffed Lyn. Ryans looking out for himself
and the money he’s gonna make when she’s finally
dead.

Shortly, Farrah will be up and away from all her trauma. Why keep her alive in that condition. Perhaps there is a lot going on that we don’t know about, and Ryan is looking after Farrah’s best interests. She won’t feel like seeing too many people.

how sad of a man he is. Too bad her sister is already deceased. She would have been the one to decide for her. Certainly not her strung out son she made with the loser. What comes over these women to fall for these loser types? It’s so very sad.
June 3rd, 2009 at 1:19 pm
how does he have the right to do that…?
