His site states that he had Synovial Cell Sarcoma.

Don't know much about this guy, but aren't sarcomas often a disease associated with AIDS?

For your information he was a married man. Have you checked out his website? I wouldn't wish cancer on any one and I lost my mother to it. Its incredible some people can be so insensitive to others' suffering. Robert Urich and his family deserved a lot better than the ordeal he went through.

In 1996, following the final production of the first season of The Lazarus Man, Robert was diagnosed with Synovial Cell Sarcoma, which is a rare soft tissue cancer. He underwent surgery, chemotherapy, and radiation for eight months. During treatment, he spoke very publicly about his cancer.

Robert has been awarded many honors including the Gilda Radner Courage Award from the Roswell Park Cancer Institute. Urich continues to do a speaking tour throughout the United States, and he has publicly spoken more than 45 times to over 200,000 people across the country. The audiences range from Cancer Support Groups to Fortune 500 Companies. He has been featured on Primetime Live interviewed by Dianne Sawyer, and has appeared Extra, Oprah, The Today Show, Good Morning America and Larry King Live. He had been a frequent guest on The Tonight Show, Late Night with David Letterman, The Conan O’Brien Show, Live with Regis, and The View.

He currently resides in Ventura County, California with his wife and three children, Ryan, Emily, and Allison.

Some sarcomas are. The AIDS related type is called Kaposi's sarcoma. I have never heard of using chemotherapy or radiation therapy on a patient with AIDS. A person would die, as the body couldn't heal. This explains the types of soft tissue sarcoma better than I can, Understanding soft tissue sarcomas.

You're thinking of Karposi's sarcoma, it can be associated with HIV.

However, my father in law has been dealing with a kind of sarcoma for a few years, and he definitely does not have AIDS.

what an ignorant post... you should win a prize!

[wardaddy]

that would be kaposi's sarcoma. there are many many types of sarcoma...many unrelated to AIDs.

You're thinking of Kaposi's Sarcoma.There are different types of sarcomas,which are cancers of the soft tissue areas.With the exception of Kaposi's,none of them has any particular association with AIDS.
