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.
