People reports Farrah Fawcett has been hospitalized in Los Angeles since Thursday, the latest setback in her long battle with cancer.

First diagnosed in 2006, the 62-year-old actress has undergone chemotherapy and aggressive alternative treatments in the past. She saw her cancer go into remission, then return in May 2007.

This is a troubled week for Fawcett. Just this weekend her son, Redmond O'Neal (with Ryan O'Neal), was arrested for possession of narcotics and for bringing narcotics into a jail facility.

Redmond, who's currently serving probation for a June 2008 DUI and drug possession conviction, is also facing drug charges in another case that involved his father to which he pleaded not guilty less than two weeks ago. He remains in police custody, and is being held in lieu of $25,000 bail. A court hearing for this latest arrest has been set for April 7.
