Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan Says He Has “Very Aggressive” Cancer of Lymph Nodes

Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan has “very advanced” and “very aggressive” cancer of the lymph nodes, but he said Monday he will continue to work as the state’s chief elected official.

Hogan said the cancer is B-cell non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma. He says it may be Stage 4, or at least a very advanced Stage 3.

He spoke at a hastily organized news conference in Annapolis, surrounded by members of his family and cabinet . . .

At the news conference with his wife, daughters, sons-in-law and granddaughter, Hogan said that he had noticed a painless lump along his jaw earlier this month. He also felt some back pain, which, he said, was caused by a tumor pressing on his spinal column.

While vowing to continue to work, Hogan allowed that he will miss days of work while undergoing intensive chemotherapy. He said he will lose his hair — “I won’t have these beautiful gray locks” — and maybe lose some weight. (Read more from “Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan Says He Has Cancer of Lymph Nodes” HERE)
