Oh No, Poor Fred. Tell me it ain’t so.

[LadyBuzz]

[mek1959]

Likewise. How sad

[2dogjoe]

May the Lord Bless him and his family.

[JRochelle]

What is it?

[reagan_fanatic]

Not good. I hope this is treatable and not life threatening :(

[Jake The Goose]

WOW - stunned - absolutely stunned.

[HeartlandOfAmerica]

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOo!

[Blogger]

Bless his heart. Awful news.

[theDentist]

Says treatment should be sufficent and not be an interruption of daily life. (or something like that)

[SE Mom]

Just heard this on FOX.

Prayers...prayers...

[paws_and_whiskers]

Prayer bump.

[JRochelle]

He has had it before and its the ‘good’ kind.

[dirtboy]

Can you put your politics and ego aside for the time being?

[Fitzcarraldo]

Perhaps all the candidates should make their full medical records public now.

[WV Mountain Mama]

Prayers sent for him and his family.

[Jhensy]

Oh my. This is a bombshell.

Prayers for Fred.

[NeoCaveman]

I’ll keep him in my prayers.

Damn lymphoma.

[beandog]

This is terrible. My stepmom was diagnosed with Lymphoma two weeks ago. It is not a good thing.

[Mo1]

cancer

[Jake The Goose]

Time to wait and allow all the facts and the details to come out.

Wait everyone - don’t draw any conclusions just yet.

Long long way to go.

[HoustonTech]

Bad news.

[OB1kNOb]

First Tony, and now Fred??? LORD, show us mercy, please!

[STARWISE]

Indulent (?) Lymphoma .. has apparently had some treatment .. Bill Hemmer reads announcement says: “the good kind of lymphoma.”

Prayers up.

[Ultra Sonic 007]

Well crap. Hope Fred gets better.

[dirtboy]

Save it for tomorrow. This ain’t the time or place.

[Peach]

There are 30 kinds of lymphoma and Thompson says his is “the good kind”.

[arbee4bush]

True, lets calm down.

It sounds like the least serious type according to the news. Saying it's now in remission.

hey, McCain and Rudy both had cancer, so what is to stop Fred?

Praying hard for Fred and family....and our country (we need him!)

[Halls]

Let’s hope that this won’t affect a potential presidency should he ever decide to run!

[null and void]

Indolent.

Just dammm.

[SE Mom]

Neil Cavuto will be up in 30 mins to talk about his interview

[Jake The Goose]

Ok you’re a hero - relax - this not about you.

What you need to know
About Lymphoma
If you or a loved one has been diagnosed with lymphoma, the most common blood cancer and third most common cancer of childhood, the Lymphoma Research Foundation (LRF) is here to help. On this Web site you will find valuable information about the different types of lymphoma - Hodgkin lymphoma and non-Hodgkin lymphoma, diagnostic techniques your health care practitioners may use, and treatment options.

The Lymphoma Support Network can help you connect with a peer who is also living with lymphoma or you can find out how to volunteer at an LRF chapter near you. Start by learning more about lymphoma.

[ShandaLear]

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.

[Alex Murphy]

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

[originalbuckeye]

Not good. However I want you all to know that my dad was diagnosed with lymphoma in the mid 70’s and lived for 19 more years. I doubt that Fred Thompson will be running for the nomination. Hopefully he will have many, many years left to enjoy life.

[dirtboy]

It sounds like the least serious type according to the news. Saying it's now in remission.

Thank goodness. And for his sake and his wife and children's sake.

Normal political bickering can resume later.

[spectre]

He was diagnosed with it THREE years ago...Let's wait and see what he has to say..

[Pukin Dog]

Considering all your nasty, stupid posts, how dare you?

Thompson is fine. You should simply apologize and move on. He has known about this for YEARS.
