Ouch 39? I'm a Lymphoma survivor at age 23. Thats just scary. Lymphoma usually takes it toll on either the very young or very old. 39 is just much too young.

my mother-in-law (frail little chinese 70 year old) is currently battling lymphoma.
kind of tough to see a tank like that ----^ lose the fight.

Lymphoma is really a case by cace disease. Like many cancers, it's all about catching it in time because it is so aggressive. I'm guessing in his case they caught it too late.

This is real sad. I truly love this show, and his acting. It sucked when I heard he would no longer be in the role, but to see him lose his fight. Just sucks. I fucking hate cancer.

This sucks. The summer keeps getting worse with all these deaths. Great show and actor (haven't seen anything except Spartacus though). My thoughts go to his wife and two kids.

Saw this earlier... sucks. He was awesome as Spartacus and sounded like a pretty cool, down to Earth dude outside he show as well.
