Why is survivor africa in the news today?
Survivor: Africa winner Ethan Zohn has been diagnosed with Stage 2 Hodgkin’s disease, Usmagazine.com has confirmed. The 35-year-old reality star — who began chemotherapy Friday to treat the rare CD20-positive Hodgkin’s — received the diagnosis months after complications arose from what was believed to be a skin condition. Doctors found a swollen lymph node under his left clavicle and a subsequent CT scan revealed a mass on the left side of his chest. A form of cancer that can yield a 90 percent success rate, Hodgkin’s disease affects the body’s lymphatic system. Five percent of Hodgkin’s patients suffer from the same strain as Zohn. Treatment includes an intense three-months of chemotherapy. Currently dating Suvivor: Amazon winner Jenna Morasca, Zohn travels the world with his Grassroots Soccer charity as an advocate for HIV/AIDS awareness and funding. Sources:
