According to Entertainment Weekly, star of the hit Showtime series "Dexter" Michael C. Hall has been diagnosed recently with Hodgkin’s Lymphoma. I was devastated to hear this, being a massive fan of "Dexter" and just finished watching Season 3 on DVD last month. The season was excellent and centers around Dexter discovering his girlfriend Rita is pregnant, while trying to coerce her to marry him. I'm dying to find out what happens in Season 4 of the series but have to wait for it to hit DVD since I don't subscribe to Showtime. I looked up the wiki article on Hodgkin's Lymphoma and it thankfully described it as such: "The survival rate is generally 90% or higher when the disease is detected during early stages, making it one of the more curable forms of cancer." Hall himself has been quoted in the EW article saying "I feel fortunate to have been diagnosed with an imminently treatable and curable condition, and I thank my doctors and nurses for their expertise and care." Also, Hall is expected to continue the Dexter series with Season 5 later this year with no interference from the disease. If I thought a big celebrity like him needed the donation, I would personally buy a cancer support bracelet in honor of Hall.
