Jeff Bridges said Monday on Twitter he’s been diagnosed with lymphoma but that his prognosis is good.

As the Dude would say.. New S**T has come to light.

I have been diagnosed with Lymphoma. Although it is a serious disease, I feel fortunate that I have a great team of doctors and the prognosis is good.

I’m starting treatment and will keep you posted on my recovery.

Love, Jeff.”
