Governor Jerry Brown to undergo further treatment for prostate cancer
The Office of the Governor announced Saturday that Governor Jerry Brown will undergo further treatment for prostate cancer.
Brown’s oncologist, Dr. Eric Small at the University of California, San Francisco Medical Center, issued the following statement:
“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. The prognosis for Governor Brown is excellent.”
Governor Brown is expected to continue his full work schedule during treatment, which is expected to occur between late February and early March.
