California governor to undergo treatment for prostate cancer
Source: Reuters
California Governor Jerry Brown plans to undergo treatment for prostate cancer for the second time in four years, and he has received an excellent prognosis from his doctor, his office said on Saturday.
Brown's office released a statement saying that the treatment would take place between late February and early March and that the 78-year-old Democrat would keep a full work schedule during that time.
"Fortunately, this is not extensive disease, can be readily treated with a short course of radiotherapy, and there are not expected to be any significant side effects," his oncologist, Dr. Eric Small of the University of California, San Francisco Medical Center, said in the statement.
"The prognosis for Governor Brown is excellent," Small said.
