As Fawcett's condition worsened, she relied heavily on O'Neal's constant support and unwavering love.

"And when she had to go away on location for something because she was working a lot then, they would pack the whole family up and go."

Fawcett's fight against cancer has become a symbol of hope and inspiration for countless others facing the same challenges. The Farrah Fawcett Foundation, established by Fawcett and Stewart, continues to raise awareness and provide support for anal cancer research and prevention.
