The former 'Charlie's Angels' actress, who was diagnosed with cancer after doctors discovered a tumour in her lower intestine last October, was allegedly left devastated after doctors found a small, malignant polyp during a recent examination.
Doctors have planted a "small metallic seed" in the cancerous area following concerns the polyp could increase the risk of the cancer spreading, according to Access Hollywood.
A polyp is an abnormal growth of tissue often found in the colon, stomach and small intestine.
Farrah, 60, happily announced she was cancer-free in February, saying: "This is an extraordinarily happy day for me and my family. I have been on a journey for the past four months and during this time received a tremendously aggressive treatment which doctors initially warned me would be the most difficult fight of my life. In the face of excruciating pain and uncertainty, I never lost hope and it never occurred to me to stop fighting - not ever.
"To those who are still struggling toward their own victory, stay determined, 'fight the fight'. I am deeply grateful to my team of physicians, my loving and supportive family and devoted friends who have sustained me as I battled this terrible disease."
Farrah's friends and family have praised her for her incredible bravery.
Fellow former 'Charlie's Angel' star Jaclyn Smith said: "Farrah is great and fine now. She was surrounded with love and lots of friends."
