DOCTOR: 'FAWCETT IS A REASONABLE WEIGHT'

FARRAH FAWCETT's doctor has assured fans the actress is 'a reasonable weight' after her troubled son alleged her cancer battle had left her with a skeletal frame.

Redmond O'Neal shocked fans of the former Charlie's Angels star last week (ends17Apr09) when he told the judge overseeing his latest drug charge case that his ailing mother had been reduced to just 86 pounds (39 kilograms).

Fawcett's pal Alana Stewart has since dismissed "young" Redmond's comments, and now the actress' physician insists the actress is as healthy as she can be under the circumstances.

Lawrence Piro tells UsMagazine.com he saw Fawcett last week and "she was 101 pounds - a reasonable weight".

He adds, "She's continuing to eat and trying to gain weight. It's a struggle that all cancer patients go through.

"She's continuing to eat as much as she can, and we're continuing to have a good array of nutritious food offerings so she can do that. All cancer treatments tend to erode your appetite a little bit. That's why nutrition is a very active part of any treatment. We're paying a lot of attention to that with her, and she's very aware of that."

Fawcett was recently admitted to a Los Angeles hospital for internal bleeding not directly related to her battle with anal cancer. She has since checked out.
