After being admitted last April 2 at a Los Angeles Hospital, actress Farrah Fawcett was reportedly released after a scary moment which many linked to her controversial cancer illness. She was discharged and was assisted by actor Ryan O’Neal.

She had been admitted for treatment for internal bleeding that was not directly linked to her cancer.

“She’s walking and in great in spirits and looking forward to celebrating Easter at home,” said Dr. Lawrence Piro, in an interview with People magazine.

“Her home has been stocked with her favorite teas and food and she’s looking forward to enjoying them,” he said.

The “Charlie’s Angels” actress, 62, entered the hospital on April 2.

She was first diagnosed with anal cancer in 2006 and this round of treatment was the latest in a series of setbacks in her cancer battle.

Fawcett was treated for a hematoma that resulted from bleeding in a stomach muscle after a “minor” procedure in Germany, Piro said.

“Farrah was discharged [Thursday] afternoon from the hospital and is at home. She was accompanied by Ryan,” said Piro.

“The pain from the hematoma has improved tremendously,” he said.

Farrah Fawcett, the actress who gained noticed as one of the famed Charlie’s Angels series, has been reportedly admitted to a hospital. Nothing specific has been divulged but presumably it has something to do with her fight against cancer.

The 62-year-old Charlie’s Angel, who was first diagnosed with the disease in 2006, has been hospitalized in Los Angeles since Thursday. After undergoing chemotherapy and radiation, doctors said Fawcett was cancer free in February 2007, only to see the disease return three months later.

Later that year, she and ex-husband Ryan O’Neal traveled to Germany for embryonic stem cell cancer treatment, an alternative method not available in the United States.
