"Bible Answer Man" Hank Hanegraaff diagnosed with mantle cell lymphoma

This comes hot on the heels of the controversy surrounding his recent conversion to Orthodoxy. The 66 year old father of twelve has been a long time defender of the Christian faith and critic of heretical and cultic movements.

From the story here:

On May 5, he was diagnosed with a rare form of cancer called mantle cell lymphoma.

Since then, he has started an aggressive regimen that includes chemotherapy sessions, a bone marrow transplant and blood transfusions.

Hanegraaff admitted to some scary moments, like on the day he got his (PET) scan results over the phone while riding in a cab in New York City:

“The doctor said ‘you have tumors in your neck, you have tumors in your chest, you have tumors in the lungs, arms, stomach, pelvis.’ ”
