But doctors give him a good chance of beating it

Very shocking news out of Annapolis yesterday, as Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan - who was just elected this past November - announced that he has a “very advanced and very aggressive” form of non-Hodgkins Lymphoma. But the good news, which should serve as the basis of hopeful and confident prayers on the part of many, is that Hogan’s doctors actually give him a good chance of beating it.

Below is a seven-minute clip from yesterday’s press conference in which Hogan himself made the announcement.

Hogan is 59, and he’s going to have to go through some very aggressive chemotherapy. During that time he says he’ll continue to work, although he will obviously have to give some time over to his treatment, and he is up front about the fact that Lt. Gov. Boyd K.

My father was diagnosed with Non-Hodgkins lymphoma at age 56. He had tumors all over as that is how lymphomas arise; many lymph nodes at the same time. With conservative treatment only when it was necessary, he lived 19 more years. Prayers for Gov Hogan that his lymphoma reacts as well to the treatment.
