In August, Farrah Fawcett gave an interview to the Los Angeles Times, under the agreement that they would publish it within 5 days of her documentary, Farrah's Story, set to air this Friday.
"It's much easier to go through something and deal with it without being under a microscope," she told the paper, about her battle with cancer.
The actress said dealing with the illness publicly "was stressful. I was terrified of getting the chemo. It's not pleasant. And the radiation is not pleasant.
"It becomes your life," she says. "People call, 'How are you?' 'How do you feel?' 'We're praying for you.' 'Do you still have your hair?' 'What do you feel like?' When every single call is that kind of call...it's all you talk about. It's all-consuming. Then, your quality of life is never the same."
Reports surfaced last week that friends of the former Charlie's Angel were preparing to say their final goodbyes, but Farrah said in August she is keeping the faith.
"I'm holding onto the hope that there is some reason that I got cancer and there is something -- that may not be very clear to me right now -- but that I will do."
