‘Survivor’ champ battling Hodgkin’s disease
NEW YORK – “Survivor” champ Ethan Zohn has cancer.
Zohn, who outlasted the competition to win “Survivor: Africa” in 2002, is undergoing chemotherapy for a rare form of Hodgkin’s disease.
A spokeswoman for the CBS series, Lori DelliColli, confirmed Zohn’s condition after the news was first reported by People magazine.
The former pro soccer player, known for his curly mop of hair, was diagnosed with stage-two Hodgkin’s disease in late April.
Doctors discovered a swollen lymph node beneath his collar bone and a mass on the left side of his chest.
Then, last week, he began chemo treatments after being diagnosed with a less common type of the cancer that forms in the body’s lymph system.
