BoSox Lester has lymphoma

Just heard about this. Scary and sad news.

Boston Red Sox rookie pitcher Jon Lester has a form of lymphoma and will begin treatment within the week, the team said Friday.
 The 22-year-old left-hander was placed on the disabled list Monday with back pain, but tests revealed enlarged lymph nodes. The team said Lester has a treatable form of anaplastic large cell lymphoma.

That's sad
At least it's treatable.  I hope the guy gets better real soon.

Curious
Can anabolic steroids cause lymphoma?
