"Thank you for all the messages, love, and support," Bosh said in the post. "It has truly lifted my spirits through this tough process. #Heatnation #Iwillbebacksoon #Boshfamily"

Bosh competed in All-Star Weekend in New York City last week, winning the Shooting Stars competition along with Dominique Wilkins and Swin Cash before playing in the All-Star Game on Sunday. Bosh scored 10 points and grabbed three rebounds for the Eastern Conference, and then left for a brief vacation to Haiti earlier this week. He first checked into a hospital on Wednesday.

Bosh's diagnosis was met with an outpouring of support from all corners of the NBA. His former teammate, Cleveland Cavaliers star LeBron James, wrote the following on Twitter:

Man my heart real heavy right now thinking about @chrisbosh health! Especially after hearing about Kersey the other day. My prayers are....

But I know you're strong and will come back better than ever on and off the court. #PrayForCB

James' first tweet references former NBA player Jerome Kersey, who died Wednesday.
