Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan says he has cancer of lymph nodes - SFGate

ANNAPOLIS, Md. (AP) — Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan said Monday he has "very advanced" and "very aggressive" cancer of the lymph nodes, but he said he will fight for a full recovery and continue to work as the state's chief elected official.

Hogan spoke candidly, choking up at times while also managing to keep a sense of humor, as family, friends and his staff filled the governor's reception room for the announcement. The governor, who has been in office for five months, said the cancer is B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma.

"Over the coming months, I'll be receiving multiple very aggressive chemotherapy treatments," Hogan said. "Most likely, I'm going to lose my hair. You won't have these beautiful gray locks. I may trim down a little bit, but I won't stop working to change Maryland for the better."

Hogan said his doctors have told him he has a good chance of beating the disease.

Sad story, hope he recovers, if that is possible.
