Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan announced Monday he has advanced cancer and is starting aggressive chemotherapy.
The 59-year-old governor, who took office in January, said that while the disease is in a "very advanced" stage, he has a "very strong chance of success" of survival and even "beating" it. He intends to continue serving as governor while undergoing treatment.
"It's a tough time to go through and I'm going to miss a few meetings, but I'll have full capacity to make decisions," Hogan said. "I'll still be working most of the time."
Hogan said he has been diagnosed with Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma that has spread throughout 20 to 30 percent of his body. He will undergo aggressive chemotherapy for about 18 weeks. The cancer was diagnosed after Hogan found a lump on his throat while shaving, he said.
Hogan had been feeling ill since returning from a trip to Asia two weeks ago, canceling multiple appearances and events last week, according to news reports.

Dreadful news. Prayers for him and his family.
May God bless him and keep him.
Maryland “Freak State” PING!
Do you know how good Cancer Treatment Centers of America are? You seem to know a lot about cancer treatment places, and I was just curious.
No, I don't know anything really about them. I see their TV commercials. By the grace of God, by our pure, dumb luck, my son wound up being treated by a protege of Ben Carson's. So, once we found our way to Hopkins, we never looked back.

Cancer Warrior PING!
Hopefully, the same fella is treating my old boss, who has Stage 4 lung cancer.
I’m sorry to hear that.

Ping... (Sorry, I missed pinging you to this one.)
It is arguably the TOP cancer treatment center in the country.
Prayers up for Gov. Hogan—and Maryland too!
Sorry, and a well wish for the governor
Cancer must be ripped out with strong medicine
the criminal wilding Cancer in Baltimore must also be ripped out with strong medicine.
We need all the prayer warriors we can get on this one. We finally have a Repub governor, not only a Repub, but a businessman who knows the score, in-house and this happens.
If he does retire, then Maryland’s first black governor will be a republican. Can’t wait to see the media ignore that.
Thank for the ping.
My condolences to the people of Maryland, and of course, his family.
