Dan was diagnosed with Non Hodgkin's DLBC Lymphoma , a rare form of cancer. It is believed to be a result from his time as a first responder on September 11th, at the Pentagon.  Dan has started a very intense chemotherapy 21 day chemo treatment .  His treatment consists of being connected to a chemo chemical pump, this pumps chemo into him for 24 hours straight, then the bag is changed and he continues this for 5 days.  He then takes shots to build his white blood cells for 7 days and has 8 days to recover before the next round starts. There will be a total of 6 rounds.
