Bonnie Franklin fighting pancreatic cancer

LOS ANGELES — Bonnie Franklin, who starred in the sitcom "One Day At a Time," has been diagnosed with pancreatic cancer, her family said Monday.
In a statement released by CBS, the family said the 68-year-old actress is undergoing treatment and continuing her normal schedule.
Franklin, who lives in Los Angeles, and her family "remain extremely positive" and asked that her privacy be respected.
The petite, red-headed actress starred as single mom Ann Romano in the hit CBS comedy "One Day At a Time," which aired from 1975 to 1984. Her co-stars included Mackenzie Phillips and Valerie Bertinelli.
On her Twitter account, Phillips sent "out love and sweet prayers" to the "incomparable Bonnie Franklin."
Franklin's recent credits include appearances on "The Young and the Restless" and "Hot in Cleveland," which reunited her with Bertinelli.
On stage, Franklin was in the original Broadway production of "Applause," for which she received a 1970 Tony Award nomination, and other plays including "Dames at Sea" and "A Thousand Clowns."
Her family said Franklin is grateful for people's support and concern as she fights cancer.

Godspeed to Bonnie - her husband passed a couple of years ago, and she has no children to help her out. I wish her a full, fast recovery. I am sure Mack, Val and Pat will be there to give her lots of love and support!!!!

This heart-breaking news is EXACTLY why I don't follow the personal lives (read: tragedies) of my favorite television and movie stars. I would much rather remember them when they were young, vibrant, at the top of their game and creating entertaining entertainment that made me laugh and feel good every single time. I have always, always loved Bonnie Franklin and she was the number one main reason I tuned into ODAAT each and every week.

Best wishes to her as well. She has to keep an extrememly positive attitude and be extremely fit to beat this. I once saw a documentary on cancer that spoke a lot of pancreatic cancer. The 5 year survival rate isn't good so that's why the oncologist said that. It's ironic that he said to take it "one day at a time".

It is indeed one of the toughest types of cancer to beat - I just hope they caught it in time.

Hopefully they caught it before major weight loss or stomach burning set in. I know Patrick Swayze complained of that.
