Redmondian Posted October 21, 2003 Share Posted October 21, 2003 AP - American actor Robert De Niro has been diagnosed with prostate cancer but is expected to recover fully, a spokesman said. Doctors for De Niro, 60, a two-time Academy Award winner, caught the cancer at an early stage during a regular health check-up within the past week, De Niro publicist Stan Rosenfield said. De Niro is in otherwise excellent physical condition and doctors expect a full recovery, Rosenfield said. The publicist said De Niro did not want to disclose if he would be undergoing surgery or some other treatment. "He's a private person and doesn't care to have his treatment out for public consumption," Rosenfield said. De Niro, nominated six times for Academy Awards, won the best-actor Oscar for 1980's "Raging Bull" and the supporting-actor honour for 1974's "The Godfather, Part II."

+Dick Montage Subscriber² Posted October 21, 2003 Subscriber² Share Posted October 21, 2003 My grandfather had prostate cancer, at the age of 87. He made a full recovery within months. Still, he did die a few months after - doh! But in all seriousness, I think DeNiro is a great actor, and can afford good healthcare, and as his doc says - it was discovered early. I wish him well!

+chorpeac MVC Posted October 21, 2003 MVC Share Posted October 21, 2003 Man I hope everything goes well. I don't blame him for being private about the treatment. I'm not sure how they cure prostate cancer, but I am sure he doesn't want to have the same treatment and humiliation that the one baseball player from the Phillies had when he had testicular cancer. Yeah Robert Dino....you know...the guy with one nut! Rude a$$holes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
