Curly-haired “Survivor” champion battles stage two cancer
He may be known as the lovable, curly-haired contestant in the season three of “Survivor,” but Ethan Zohn proved that he’s more than just a pretty face when he won the top plum in the conclusion of the show – which was staged back then in Africa.
However, the 35-year old star is facing the biggest fight of his life which is cancer.
According to reports, the “Survivor: Africa” winner was diagnosed with a rare kind of Hodgkin’s disease.
Zohn personally confirmed this development after he appeared late last week on “The Early Show” in CBS network. His look is noticeably new considering that he has already let go of his curly hair. The cut locks were stored in a clear plastic bag just by his side, an indication that he cut his curly hair just a few moments ago.
The soccer enthusiast revealed that since he’ll be undergoing about three months of chemotherapy treatments, he might just as well cut his har since it will start to fall out on its own once the radiation kicks in from the treatments.
Despite his fate, Zohn said he’s keeping a positive outlook on his life. He currently gets the strength from family, friends and girlfriend Jenna Morasca, also a “Survivor” alumnus.
