'Survivor's' Ethan Zohn has cancer
"Survivor: Africa" champ Ethan Zohn endured harsh conditions to outwit, outplay and outlast his reality show competitors, but his latest challenge won't be as easy.
The 35-year-old soccer player has been diagnosed with cancer, more specifically, stage two Hodgkin's disease, reports People.
Zohn is undergoing chemotherapy to treat the cancer, and instead of gradually losing his famous mop of curly hair, he's decided to shave it off within the next few days. "I'll get a mohawk or something fun that I've always wanted to do," he tells the magazine.
Girlfriend and "Survivor: The Amazon" winner Jenna Morasca will be by his side during the process. The couple has each lost a parent to cancer and are united in their hopeful fight against this disease.

This saddens my heart to hear this.
My brother had this disease over 20 years ago and he is still here with us. A Dr. once told me if you get cancer this is one of the most curable. He's young and I'm sure they'll hammer him with chemo and radiation. But, if it's caught early enough that is a good thing.
I have lost 2 people in my family to cancer over the last 4 weeks. I wish him well and pray he beats this horrible disease.
What a hunk!! I feel sad about u! I wish u get well soon hottie..

Ethan was, without exception, the most honorable winner ever on Survivor. God bless him and his family and friends.
