‘Survivor’ winner: cancer is worse
The winner of “Survivor: Africa” tells People.com that his cancer is worse than before and he is far from cured.
“No one was expecting this,” Ethan Zohn says in his online video diary. “Hodgkin’s is one of the most curable cancers out there, so you can imagine I was completely shocked, and floored, and speechless.”
Zohn, who won the hit reality show’s third season, was diagnosed with Hodgkin’s lymphoma in April.
Despite the news, the 35-year-old says his hopes are high despite the likelihood that he will need chemotherapy or radiation treatment.
Zohn says it is a blessing that he can help in “educating, raising awareness and erasing the stigma associated with cancer.”
