It is a highly treatable type and IS NOT expected to reduce his life expectancy. He was diagnosed three years back and it is in remission. He will be on Neil Covuta today to discuss this and other issues.

I have a relative who has has this type of Lymphoma 20 years and is now 78 years old.It needs to be monitored along with drug therapy.

I know someone who’s had Hodgkins for a very long time. He mananges it quite well.

Perhaps this is one of the considerations he's been weighing. Prayers for Fred!

Breaking on Fox. He says it’s treatable, in remission, and asymptomatic, and will be on with Neil Cavuto later to talk about it.

Standby for updates.

Posted at 8:25am on Apr. 11, 2007 Breaking: Fred Thompson Has Cancer. It’s In Remission.
By Erick

Fred Thompson announced this morning that he has cancer. It is in remission. He has no symptoms. He has not had any illness related to it. It is a very treatable form of lymphoma called “indolent lymphoma”. He was diagnosed three years ago.

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

Fred Thompson will talk exclusively to Neal Cavuto this afternoon at 4pm EDT about the issue.

Depending on the cancer, often a patient can live years without much treatment. A doctor may chose “Watch and Wait” - a strategy of waiting until symptoms are such that treatment should proceed. With newer immunotherapies, the era of Watch and Wait may be over as effective treatment may be able to proceed as soon as the lymphoma is detected.

Arlen Specter battled Lymphoma a couple of years ago. Treatment is never pleasant with the barbaric chemo regimens that are out there..but he should have a fairly optimistic prognosis. I hope he will be okay.

If it were Rudy announcing that he had a relapse of prostate cancer, I would be offering up the same sincere prayers that I will be offering for Fred Thompson.

I recall that when Bill Clinton had to have heart surgery, most of us put politics aside and prayed for him as we would for any human being in need.

Some things don’t change here on FR, and I’m glad that is one of them.

The slicing and dicing of our political foes can always wait.
