Read in people magazine online that Ethan was recently diagnosed with stage two Hodgkin's disease.

Hope he recovers!

My thoughts are with Ethan!!

Zohn came to a conclusion: He wants to use his battle with cancer as way to educate and inspire others.

What a wonderful way to approach this. His attitude will help him win this battle!

A Letter From Ethan Zohn

The word "cancer" has become all too familiar in the lives of millions of people around the world. It has been referred to as the public health crisis of our lifetime. It is, in a sense, our "black plague." Cancer does not discriminate. It does not look at our gender, the color of our skin, our social class or the religion we may place our faith in.

I've been hard pressed to find someone who has not been affected by cancer in some small way. One in two men and one in every three women will be diagnosed with cancer in their lifetime. Such sobering facts are hard to accept.

Very few people around the world know that cancer kills more people than HIV/AIDS, malaria, and tuberculosis combined - until we get everyone to realize that, it will be tough to get them to act. Statistics can numb us to what the real issues are. But these are not just faceless numbers. They are your friends, family, co-workers, or teammates.

Mothers and fathers lose their jobs because of cancer. They lose the energy to come home and cook for or play with their kids. Doctors and nurses have to see their patients suffer because of cancer. This is what cancer is really like. This is what people go through. This is the face of cancer the world needs to uncover.

As a person currently battling cancer, I belong to a supportive community that has allowed me to keep moving forward, taking risks, and living strong. It is in the face of cancer that many learn to stand up and put their best self forward. As a community we find strength in numbers, in the commitment of overcoming a challenge and in the will to give make a difference in the lives of others. We learn we are not fighting this battle alone. And I say "WE" because I am referring to the entire cancer community.

I have chosen to share my story with you and how I chose to get busy living my life for every single moment. I hope my story helps someone else facing the same dark times.

<snip>

I have so much admiration for this guy. My prayers continue to be with him during his struggle.

People magazine has an update. I tried to paste the link, but it has commas which makes everything wonky. The link is on their main page for now.

*PEOPLE*

It's amazing how positive he has stayed. I feel so badly for him and his family and Jenna and I sure hope he wins this battle.

Ethan and Jenna were on CBS this morning. This man is so inspiring and Jenna has impressed the heck out of me throughout Ethan's ordeal. Here's the CBS video of their appearance:

He's home recovering 20 days after undergoing a stem cell transplant. This makes me so happy.
