Luke Menard, an American Idol contestant, was diagnosed with cancer. The Top 24 Idol was diagnosed with Hodgkin’s lymphoma.
“Luke had a lingering cough and was having trouble breathing deeply, so he went to the doctor to have it checked out,” Jane Victor, a spokesman for Chapter 6 told CBS News. “The suspicion was walking pneumonia. But after a chest X-ray doctors saw a mass and did more testing, which is what led to the stage II Hodgkin diagnosis.”
Menard has been told his cancer is treatable and manageable, with survival rate being 90-95%.
