Gov. Jerry Brown is undergoing treatment for prostate cancer, his office announced this afternoon. The governor's office described the condition as a "localized prostate cancer" and said Brown is continuing to work a full schedule while being treated with a short course of radiation. It released a statement from Eric Small, Brown's oncologist at University of California San Francisco. "Fortunately, this is early stage localized prostate cancer, which is being treated with a short course of conventional radiotherapy," Small said in the statement. "The prognosis is excellent, and there are not expected to be any significant side effects." Brown's office said the treatment is expected to be completed the week of Jan. 7. The 74-year-old governor underwent a procedure in April 2011 to remove skin cancer from his nose.

Newsom has also regularly attacked Brown for not being liberal enough.
Newsom has also regularly attacked Brown for not being liberal enough. (In California, the Lt. Gov. and Governor run on separate tickets are often political rivals of one another).
Agreed. He has always been a whack job, but not willfully malevolent that I am aware of. He also had the good taste to date Linda Ronstadt back in the day, or at least use her as a beard.
That was my 1st thought
Get well, Jerry.
Won’t radiation therapy make his hair fall out?
I don’t wish cancer are anybody. I would say that he should resign and take care of himself, but I shudder to think about his replacement. Jerry Brown looks like Ronald Reagan if you compare him to the other Democrats in Sacramento. The California legislature is a Che Guevera fan club.
If you have the slow grow, you probably are ok. My dad died from the fast grow version, and it was a very long painful exit, so I opted for surgery.
Huh, how so?
Jerry Brown and his father destroyed California, wth are you talking about?
I mean it in the relative sense. Brown sure as hell is not one tenth the governor that Reagan was. I am saying that Sacramento is full of hard core Marxists.
Better than the last stage.
No
The OC death panel will tell Brown there is a shortage of doctors/medications and he will have to treat it himself.
There was a story a week or so ago in the London Telegraph about the husband of a *senior* member of the British Parliament and how he died “like a battery hen” (I think that’s the way it was worded) in a government hospital.It spoke of appalling abuse and neglect.Thank God that neither Osama Obama nor Governor Moonbeam (or their families) will ever have to endure that sort of thing.Folks in flyover country,OTOH....
Jerry and his Dad was/is one of them
Reagan and Brown do not belong in the same sentences.
Didn't he hook up with Debra Winger, too?
Thank you for seeing my point, I was surprised it seemed to get missed by some here.
Best wishes for a speedy recovery. I hope he survives decades, long enough to see even the lefty types adjudge his Browndoggle Train To Nowhere the utter failure and waste that it is.
Didn't he hook up with Debra Winger, too?
IIRC, Linda left because Jerry is a homo.
No he is a crooked lying pile of sh*t and is continuing the demise of a beautiful state. He never had a real plan, only to borrow from the feds. Evil brings bad karma.
