[This sucks](https://www.cnn.com/2020/10/19/entertainment/jeff-bridges-lymphoma-diagnosis-trnd/index.html). His prognosis is good, though.

My brother-in-law had lymphoma and went through treatment for about a year. It was a tough ride, but now he seems to be free of cancer and even has started to work again a few weeks ago. I hope for the same outcome for the Dude.

Has there been any mention yet of what flavor of lymphoma he has? Some are reasonably survivable, some are not.
