The Emmy-winning actor and comedian "is being treated for Diffuse large B-cell lymphoma," reports TMZ. "The type of cancer Louie has been diagnosed with is the most common type of non-Hodgkin lymphoma in the world ... and while it's an aggressive form of cancer, it's considered potentially curable. The good news ... Louie's rep, Glenn Schwartz, says the comedian is resting comfortably in his hospital bed."
