The comic actor (Blazing Saddles) has chosen to follow up chemotherapy with stem-cell replacement, a grueling procedure not unlike a bone-marrow transplant. Given the high rate of recurrence of non-Hodgkin's, the same lymph-system cancer that claimed Jacqueline Onassis's life, the treatment is "very positive and smart," says friend Joanna Bull, Radner's psychotherapist and a cofounder of Gilda's Club (of which PEOPLE is a sponsor). "It has an excellent track record."
By Wilder's side is his fourth wife, Karen Webb, 57, the speech pathologist he wed in 1991. "You want her in your lifeboat," says one close friend. "He'll make it," adds actor pal Mandy Patinkin. "He'll do fine. Attitude is everything. He has the gift of laughter."
