1. Oh no.

[hlthe2b]

2. Oh, no! He is right that prognosis is good with regionally contained lymphoma

I surely hope so. He's a favorite actor of mine--for years.

[Hassler]

3. My wife currently has it. Hope he has non-hodgkin's variety.

6. I'm so sorry. May she fight a good fight and defeat that horrible beast.

[Hassler]

11. She is lucky the tumor was in her jaw and grew so fast

That it was caught early. Stage 1, 3 rounds of chemo and a very optimistic prognosis from her oncologist.

26. Great! I lost my mom in 2016 to Lymphoma.

8. Damn.......

We’re all in this with ya. Prayers, good vibes and hope she kicks cancer’s ass.

36. Hodgkin's is one of the most treatable cancers

with a 5 year survival rate over 90% (some stats say over 85%)

My cousin's wife was diagnosed with it several years ago and the doctor called it "good news" when he confirm it was Hodgkin's. She's doing great.

39. This has definitely been a mad dog of a year!

5. Depending on the type..

The Dude has a good chance of living a long and healthy life even with lymphoma. The big, aggressive ones are curable, and the slow-growing ones aren’t curable but are very treatable. My husband has lived with a slow-growing lymphoma for fifteen years and is healthy, rarely needing treatment.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

17. This is awful news but he sounds optimistic and I hope he beats it.

One of my long-time favorite actors! Starman, The Dude, etc.

You will abide, Jeff!

[Brother Buzz]

[nolabear]

25. Shit. I can't bring myself to share this.

[moonscape]

27. Lymphoma can be quite treatable and

Prognosis quite good. Here’s hoping that will be the case for Jeff.

[cilla4progress]

31. One of our faves for

Forever.

I own The Big Lebowski.

[albacore]

32. Good prognosis on that stuff.... 5 year 85% .. 10 year 80%...

[Thekaspervote]

33. Lymphoma is definitely one of the more curable cancers

Sir, thank you for all the great entertaining movies over the years, may you be well and back at it soon!

[Lucinda]

34. ❤️ ✿❧🌿❧✿ ❤️

Speedy healing...

[LW1977]

35. Fuck 2020!!!

Just fuck it!

[calimary]

37. Well that sucks.

Fortunately, lymphoma IS survivable.

[Upthevibe]

38. I don't know if there is a more revered actor

then Jeff Bridges...I've loved him in everything I've seen him with starting with, The Last Picture Show. And more recently he was soooo good in a movie that was kind of an indie but IMHO was excellent, Hell or High Water.

But to me (and probably many, many others) - He will always be The Dude......

I hope he gets through this okay.

[Thyla]

40. The prognosis sounds relieving and I hear the Dr

Is a good man and thorough.

Finger crossed Dude!

[PatSeg]

43. Damn, that really sucks
