METROPOLITAN ANTHONY OF SAN FRANCISCO HOSPITALIZED
His Eminence Metropolitan Anthony of San Francisco was admitted to U.C.
Davis Medical Center in Sacramento, California, on Thursday, November 18,
with a diagnosis of Burkitt's lymphoma, a malignancy of the lymph nodes.
Metropolitan Anthony is undergoing intensive treatment with chemotherapy
and immunotherapy. His response thus far has been favorable. His
condition will require continued evaluation and treatments over the next
several months.
His Eminence Archbishop Demetrios of America, who was with Metropolitan
Anthony at the Medical Center on Sunday, November 21 and Monday, November

to our good and merciful God for the restoration of the health of our
beloved brother and friend and valiant co-worker in the vineyard of the
Lord, Metropolitan Anthony."
