Farrah Fawcett's doctor says she is cancer-free.
LOS ANGELES, California (AP) -- Farrah Fawcett got an unbeatable gift for her 60th birthday: a clean bill of health.

The actress, who revealed in October that she was fighting cancer, learned this week that she is cancer-free, spokesman Mike Pingel said Friday.

Dr. Gary Gitnick, Fawcett's lead physician at the University of California, Los Angeles, said the actress "has had a full and complete response to treatment."

"Her prognosis is excellent," he said.

1. I saw that the other da. Excellent news for her.
From what I remember when it was first announced. the particular type of cancer she had could be very aggressive, so I'm glad she has a clean bill of health.

4. Good news for her
I don't wish cancer of any sort on anyone - just the word alone is frightening.
