Robert was previously diagnosed with throat cancer and when he heard the news he remembered his own father who had died 30 years before of the same type of cancer.
Today Conconi is cancer free but he says he was so blown away by the care he received and the research taking place at the BC Cancer Agency that he and his wife Diane wanted to donate their home – Madrona Grove – for auction.
