WASHINGTON – Former Tennessee Republican Sen. Fred Thompson says he’s in remission from lymphoma.
Thompson, who is considering a run for the White House in 2008, says the illness is treatable.
“I have had no illness from it, or even any symptoms. My life expectancy should not be affected. I am in remission, and it is very treatable with drugs if treatment is needed in the future-and with no debilitating side effects,” Thompson said.
Thompson, a “Law and Order” actor, was diagnosed with indolent lymphoma about two and a half years ago after a routine physical.
Obviously, let’s all wish him the best, sounds like he’s doing well. And perhaps the fact that he’s announcing it now, given that he was diagnosed years ago, suggests he is serious about running.
UPDATE: I see that Prowler posted as I was composing mine. Well, the same thing holds. All the best for Fred.
