"Dexter" star Michael C. Hall is undergoing treatment for cancer and the disease is in remission, a spokesman said. "I feel fortunate to have been diagnosed with an imminently treatable and curable condition, and I thank my doctors and nurses for their expertise and care," Hall, 38, said Wednesday in a statement.
The actor was diagnosed with Hodgkin's lymphoma, a cancer of thelymphatic system, which is part of the body's immune system. The disease is considered highly treatable with the potential for full recovery.
Craig Bankey, a spokesman for the actor, said the cancer is in complete remission and Hall's treatment will continue as planned.
Hall plans to attend Sunday's Golden Globe awards and the upcomingScreen Actors Guild ceremony with his wife, actress Jennifer Carpenter, who plays his sister on Showtime's "Dexter." Hall is a nominee at both awards shows for his role as Dexter Morgan, a serial killer working as a blood-spatter expert.
