The official site posted a clarification today about Jason White, indicating that Jason was diagnosed with a treatable form of tonsil cancer, not esophagus cancer as was initially reported. Here's the full press release:
"We have some news to report regarding our brother Jason White, and wanted you to hear it from us before word spread. Jason recently underwent a routine tonsillectomy, and his doctors discovered a treatable form of tonsil cancer. Thankfully they caught it early and he should make a full and speedy recovery.

Please join us in sending him love and positive healing vibes during this time."
