As the Dude would say.. New S**T has come to light.
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.

I’m happy that Bridges is getting so much love and feels loved during this time. A cancer diagnosis has to be hard to cope with. It sounds like he’s getting the support he needs to step up and kick this cancer’s ass.
