Ethan Zohn of 'Survivor: Africa' vows to outlast cancer

Soccer player Ethan Zohn, who outwitted, outlasted and outplayed his fellow castaways to win Survivor: Africa, has cancer, reports People.com.

People says Zohn, 35, learned he has rare CD20-positive Hodgkin's Lymphoma. It says he began chemotherapy last Friday.

"There's really only one outcome," he tells People, "and that's to win."

His longtime girlfriend Jenna Morasca, who won Survivor: The Amazon, tells People: "I will fight with every fabric of my being to get him through this."

Both Zohn and Morasca lost parents to cancer, People reports.

About Sarah Kelber

Sarah Kickler Kelber, an editor in the features department since 1999, got sucked into reality TV with the first episode of MTV's The Real World in 1992. Then came Survivor and American Idol, and suddenly, the genre was everywhere. She started blogging about it for The Baltimore Sun in January 2006 and has logged more hours watching and writing about such shows as Dancing With the Stars, Big Brother and, of course, Idol, than she'd like to admit.
