Lyle in hospital after 'abnormal' blood test results

Jarrod Lyle has returned to the hospital for what his doctors fear is a third battle with cancer.

The 35-year-old Australian has twice beaten leukemia, most recently in 2012. (Check out Rex Hoggard's series on Lyle here.)

A family spokesman released this statement Tuesday:

“A routine blood test conducted earlier this week returned abnormal results and Jarrod was immediately admitted to hospital and placed under the care of his previous medical specialist. He will remain there at least until a full diagnosis has been made.

“He has undergone several tests, and will have several more in the coming days.
