Urich dedicates
$12 Mill facility
WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. (AP) —
A robust-looking Robert Urich offered
a message of hope as he dedicated
a $12 million cancer institute.
“Cancer is a survivable disease,"
said the “Spenser: For Hire” star,
who has survived a yearlong battle
with synovial sarcoma, a rare cancer
that affects the joints. “It cannot de
stroy hope. It cannot destroy love.”
The Good Samaritan Medical Cen
ter’s new facility can treat up to 200
people a day. Twenty-seven patients
at one time can have chemotherapy.
On Sunday, Urich told the crowd
of 500 that he had made great
strides since his own chemothera
py treatment.
“I had my first major haircut in al
most a year,” he added.
