Farrah Fawcett Upbeat After Cancer Diagnosis

LOS ANGELES (AP) ― Farrah Fawcett says she's maintaining a positive attitude following her recent cancer diagnosis and expects to make a complete recovery.

In a statement released by her publicist, the 59-year-old former "Charlie's Angels" star said "I am determined to bite the bullet and fight the fight while going through the next six weeks of cutting edge, state-of-the-art treatment. I should be able to return to my life as it was before."

The publicist didn't reveal what kind of cancer Fawcett has but said it was recently diagnosed and involves a fast-growing tumor.

The actress says she's been overwhelmed by the "outpouring of concern, love, prayers and compassion" she has received from people around the world.
