Michael C. Hall the star of the hit show Dexter, is currently battling a form of cancer called Hodgkin's lymphoma, but the disease is in remission.

Hodgkin's lymphoma is a cancer that attacks the lymphatic system and is considered highly treatable.

"I feel fortunate to have been diagnosed with an imminently treatable and curable condition, and I thank my doctors and nurses for their expertise and care," Hall, 38, said Wednesday in a statement.

When Michael C. Hall was diagnosed has not been released but he has the potential for a full recovery. He will still attend Sunday's Golden Globes with his wife actress Jennifer Carpenter. He is nominated for his role as Dexter Morgan, a serial killer working with the police.

He will return to shooting the fifth season of Dexter later this year.
