My mother died of lymphoma, but this was 30 years ago. I understand it is very treatable if caught early.

Prayers up for the Thompsons.

Probably why he’s been hesitant to jump into the Prez candidacy ring.

It may well be. Prayers for Fred and his family.

Correct. And if reports are true that his wife is encouraging him to run, then I'm betting his health is not an issue.

That said, prayers sent for Fred! Still hoping he throws his hat into the ring.

I’m wondering why he wanted to get it out there until he’s going to be announcing his candidacy soon.

To beat another candidates camp to the punch. Better if it comes from him than some obscure "leaker".

It’s in remission. Seems he’s getting this announcement out of the way as part of his decision on whether he will run for President.

Seems like this announcement is part of "the plan" ..get any controversial news out now, since he has apparently gotten treatment for the last three years, and is apparently "in remission."

God bless you, Fred.

I think Fred is being proactive with this. Better to reveal this now than have the media (or a potential competitor) reveal it for him.

That is good news. All I heard was the breaking news on the radio. So if he’s known about it for 3 years, and still expressed his interest in running with that knowledge, then nothing has changed in that respect.

As much as I want to see him run for President, I do not want him to do it at the expense of his health.

So do I. The anti-Fredders would have loved to drop this “bombshell”. He may just be heading them off at the pass. Like you said, he had known for some time when he expressed interest. Wish him well whatever he does.

It depends on the type I guess. Jackie Onassis died very quickly from lymphoma, but others do well. One can assume from the fact that Fred was diagnosed three years ago, if that’s true, that he’s doing fine, and living with it.

This announcement merely takes some of the thunder away. The anti-Freds will still tout this as a major reason to vote for someone else.

Did he give any details? Prognosis? Etc?

I went there and found that Hodgkins lymphoma was one of the first cancers to be rendered curable by combination chemotherapy.

This explains, probably, why he has not announced.
