Is he really a cancer survivor?
My dad told me that he had cancer but he survived it.

Yes he is a cancer survivor. That is partly why he left 7th heaven. I think. not sure about that.

yeah. He left after the 6th season for treatment but Brenda H. kept him on as a writer. He wrote 'Peer Pressure"pretty good eppy for his first try. I guess he announced he had cancer after the 6th season finale was done filming. I read it somewhere.

I believe he had non malignant Hodges disease. He's in remission now.

Yes he had hodgkins and later when it went into remission he celebrated by getting a dog and naming it Hodgkins.

Christ, why would you name your dog Hodgkins? I get that it'd be to celebrate survival, but it would be a constant reminder of the pain of the disease as well as the survival.

Someone said he left because of the cancer: no, he didn't. He left the series because he didn't feel satisfied with his role of Matt and the whole storyline.

are you sure he survived it? rolls eyes

He announced he was leaving 7th Heaven months before he was diagnosed. I think it was December 2001 he said he wanted to step out of the role and focus on movie roles instead, but of course the diagnosis wrecked his plans. But he would have left anyway.

Yes he survived. If you took the time to look at his bio on this site. You would know that.

If you watch the episode where he comes backI am thinking it's at Lucy's Weddingyou'll see how sick he looked.
He just looks completely different.
It is sad to see how bad off he must have beenhe was handsome in the episode, but you could tell he had been ill.
