Ethan Zohn, the winner of Survivor Africa, has been diagnosed with a rare form of cancer.

Ethan thought he had a wierd skin condition after developing night sweats and strange itching, but soon learned that he had CD20-positive Hodgkin’s lymphoma.  He began chemotherapy last Friday.

Zohn stated,

My life flashed before my eyes.  This is the ultimate game of Survivor and there’s really only one outcome, and that’s to win.  There’s no other option.

Ethan and his girlfriend, fellow Survivor contestant, Jenna Morasco, are hopefull since survival rates are up to 90 percent.
