I have been diagnosed with Lymphoma. Although it is a serious disease, I feel fortunate that I have a great team of doctors and the prognosis is good.
I’m starting treatment and will keep you posted on my recovery.

Many of his peers were quick to offer words of encouragement and love.
@TheJeffBridges Oh my. Man. My prayers are with you my friend. Sending love and a big hug. xo
@TheJeffBridges @bowiesongs A cancer diagnosis is scary. When my fiancé had cancer, he was told it was either Lymphoma or another one. We were praying lymphoma because the prognosis is so good. I know it’s impossible to think of a cancer diagnosis as lucky, but this is very beatable. My very best wishes.
