EMAIL DETAILS

Lloyd Blankfein, the CEO of Goldman Sachs Group, announced in an email Tuesday that he has a "highly curable" form of lymphoma and will undergo chemotherapy treatments over the next several months in New York.

"Late this summer after several weeks of not feeling well, I underwent a series of tests, which culminated in a biopsy last week. After the biopsy, I was told by my doctors that I have lymphoma. Fortunately, my form of lymphoma is highly curable and my doctors' and my own expectation is that I will be cured," Blankfein wrote in an email addressed to colleagues, clients and shareholders.

Blankfein said in his statement that doctors have told him he will be able to work "substantially as normal, leading the firm."

"I will, however, reduce some of my previously planned travel during the treatment period. I have discussed this approach with our Board of Directors and they are supportive," he said. "There are many people who are dealing with cancer every day. I draw on their experiences as I begin my own. I have a lot of energy and I'm anxious to begin the treatment. I appreciate your support and good wishes."
