Farrah Fawcett's weight has plummeted to 86 pounds, her son Redmond O'Neal told a judge.

While in a Los Angeles court on Friday, Redmond revealed that his ailing mother Fawcett is down to just 86 pounds. He made the announcement when he asked for leniency in sentencing for a violation of his parole stemming from drug charges, according to RadarOnline.com.

He told the judge, "I want to be there for my mom. My mom only weighs 86 pounds right now and I'm sorry your honor."

FOX News contributor, Dr. Marc Siegel told FOXNews.com: Accompanied with anorexia and weight loss, this [could] possibly indicate further spread of the cancer."

The anorexia could also be a side effect from her chemotherapy, he said, which may be causing her to vomit.

The 62-year-old "Charlie's Angels" star was diagnosed with anal cancer in 2006.

O'Neal, 24, was arrested after behaving erratically in a jail parking lot. He was charged with possession of a controlled substance when he and some friends tried to visit an incarcerated companion.
