Dexter star, Michael C. Hall, revealed today that he is currently battling cancer. The award winning actor is almost finished with treatment and the disease is in remission. 38 year old Michael said in a statement he is lucky to have been diagnosed with the “treatable and curable condition”, Hodgkin’s lymphoma.

Michael’s camp says the actor plans to continue on with his schedule as plan. He and his wife Jennifer Carpenter have plans to attend Sunday’s Golden Globes, where he’s nominated for best dramatic actor and the show as best drama. He also plans to attend the Screen Actors Guild Awards the following Saturday, where he and the cast are also nominated.

Get well soon, Michael!!

Hodgkin’s lymphoma, previously known as Hodgkin’s disease, is a type of lymphoma, which is a type of cancer originating from white blood cells called lymphocytes. It was named after Thomas Hodgkin, who first described abnormalities in the lymph system in 1832. The survival rate is generally 90% or higher when the disease is detected during early stages, making it one of the more curable forms of cancer.

More Than 100,000 Feared Dead Following Earthquake in Haiti

The scene in Haiti is something out of a horror film. Bodies have been piled along the roads women and children roam the streets aimlessly. Hospitals, homes, roads, schools and the President’s Palace have all been demolished.

On yesterday, the already poverty stricken country endured a 7.0 of an 8.0 magnitude earthquake. Haitian President Rene Preval said he believes thousands were killed in Tuesday afternoon’s magnitude-7.0 quake, and the scope of the destruction prompted other officials to give even higher estimates. Leading Sen. Youri Latortue told The Associated Press that 500,000 could be dead, although he acknowledged that nobody really knows.

“Parliament has collapsed. The tax office has collapsed. Schools have collapsed. Hospitals have collapsed,” Preval told the Miami Herald. “There are a lot of schools that have a lot of dead people in them.”

Our thoughts and prayers go out to everyone that has family and to those that seek refuge from this horrible natural disaster. Haitian native Wyclef Jean released the following statement about the travesty:

“Haiti today faced a natural disaster of unprecedented proportion, an earthquake unlike anything the country has ever experienced. The magnitude 7.0 earthquake – and several very strong aftershocks – struck only 10 miles from Port-au-Prince.

I cannot stress enough what a human disaster this is, and idle hands will only make this tragedy worse. The over 2 million people in Port-au-Prince tonight face catastrophe alone. We must act now.

President Obama has already said that the U.S. stands ready to assist’ the Haitian people. The U.S. Military is the only group trained and prepared to offer that assistance immediately. They must do so as soon as possible. The international community must also rise to the occasion and help the Haitian people in every way possible.”

Many have US organizations have chipped in to do their part to help those involved, here’s how you can do your part.
