AP – Prostate cancer couldn’t keep Dennis Hopper away from the Breeders’ Cup on Saturday.

The 73-year-old actor and artist attended the Breeders’ Cup in support of The V Foundation for Cancer Research, the official charity of the year-ending thoroughbred championships Saturday at Santa Anita Park in Southern California.

It was revealed last month that Hopper had been diagnosed with cancer, although he said Saturday he’s been battling it for the past nine years. He’s started a new, experimental treatment at the University of Southern California that he says he hopes will help.

“It has great promise,” Hopper said. “Everything’s good right now.”

Hopper recently canceled his appearance at an exhibition of his artwork and photography at the Australian Centre for the Moving Image in Melbourne. He was hospitalized in New York last month and treated for dehydration.
