This is so devastating!!! Survivor winner Ethan Zohn announced over the weekend that he’s battling cancer.
On April 30, Zohn was diagnosed with Stage 2 Hodgkin’s disease. The diagnosis came after months of unexplained itching and night sweats, originally thought to be a skin condition. Doctors discovered a swollen lymph node under his left clavicle, and a CT scan revealed a mass on the left side of his chest. Then, just last week, Zohn learned he is suffering from a rare form the disease called CD20-positive Hodgkin’s Lymphoma, for which he began chemotherapy last Friday.
“This is the ultimate game of Survivor,” Zohn, 35, tells PEOPLE exclusively, “and there’s really only one outcome, and that’s to win. There’s no other option.”
The good news is that, with treatment, Hodgkins has a high survival rate. Ethan will fight the disease with the support of his longtime girlfriend, fellow Survivor winner Jenna Moraska, who says “I will fight with every fabric of my being to get him through this.”
Our thoughts and prayers are with Ethan and his loved ones!!! It’s awesome to see him take a positive attitude toward this and fight it with everything he’s got. And it’s another important reminder — if something seems wrong, go see a doctor, like Ethan did. Keep up to date with your physicals and health exams! It is always easier to fight this stuff when you catch it early.
my very best wishes to you…thoughts prayers…any & everything you need
I LOVE her skirt.
I love how this gets two comments where as kids having babies gets like 50.
Thankfully he’s getting help, and hopefully he’ll pull through this. Thoughts with that one.
kids having babies is a little more controversial.
I TOO love the skirt. In fact, gotta have the skirt. Does anyone know where she got that skirt???
>if something seems wrong, go see a doctor
This is great advise for those that ACTUALLY have heath insurance. But for the 50 million Americans that don’t, it’s meaningless!
Very True, 100 Awesome points.
That’s a whole ‘nother debate folks…
