Michael C. Hall, the amazing star of the hit Showtime series Dexter, has revealed that he has been diagnosed with Hodgkin’s lymphoma, which he calls “treatable and curable”, and has undergone treatment for his illness. This news is horribly upsetting and shocking to me and I’m sure to many other fans. Here are the deets of Hall‘s revelation:

“Dexter” star Michael C. Hall says he was diagnosed with cancer and is on the road to the successful completion of treatment. In a statement Wednesday, Hall said he was fortunate to be diagnosed with a “treatable and curable condition,” Hodgkin’s lymphoma, and thanked his doctors and nurses for their expertise. The name of the Los Angeles area health facility where he has undergone treatment was not released. Craig Bankey, a spokesman for the actor, said the disease is in complete remission and Hall’s treatment will continue as planned. The 38-year-old Hall plans to attend Sunday’s Golden Globe awards with his wife, actress Jennifer Carpenter, and the upcoming Screen Actors Guild ceremony. He’s a nominee at both awards shows for his role as a serial killer in Showtime’s “Dexter.” Bankey said Hall will return to production on the drama’s fifth season later this year.

While I am very happy to know that Hall‘s cancer is in remission, I cannot help but be concerned for his overall health. I have been a big Michael C. Hall fan for a long time and it pains me to think of him dealing with an illness like this. My thoughts and prayers go out to him and his entire family. I can only imagine the hell that his wife and Dexter co-star Jennifer Carpenter must be going thru in all of this as well. Heal quickly, MCH. You’ve got a lot of folks rooting for your health!!
