Roy Scheider Undergoes Treatment for Cancer

21 June 2005 | WENN | See recent WENN news »

Jaws star Roy Scheider is recovering after undergoing hospital treatment to combat cancer. Scheider - who starred in a string of classic movies in the 1970s including The French Connection, Klute and Marathon Man - underwent a bone marrow transplant to treat multiple myeloma, a cancer of the plasma cells, last week. And the 72-year-old, who ironically played a boss of a powerful company who refuses to pay for a client's bone marrow transplant in The Rainmaker, is now relaxing following the treatment. He tells the New York Daily News, "It went well. They harvested my stem cells. I was my own donor. I won't be bouncing around like I usually do this summer. I'll be weak. I'll be recovering. But, to all those wishing me well, thank you very much." »
