Version 0 of 1. Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan (R), who completed an 18-week course of chemotherapy last fall for non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma, had a follow-up chemo treatment on Monday morning. Gubernatorial spokesman Matt Clark said the governor received the “maintenance” treatment at the University of Maryland Medical Center in Baltimore and returned to Annapolis around noon. [Gov. Hogan’s cancer is in remission, 30 days after he completed chemo] Clark said the governor announced that he would receive follow-up treatments when he disclosed in November that his cancer was in remission. Monday’s hospital visit was one of those treatments, Clark said. He said he was not certain how many similar treatments the governor has had since November. “This is run-of-the-mill routine, follow-up for the type of chemo he received,” Clark said Monday. Hogan was diagnosed last June with stage 3 non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma after discovering a lump in his neck. Doctors found dozens of tumors throughout his body. The governor underwent five days of round-the-clock chemotherapy treatment every three weeks for 18 weeks. [Maryland Gov.

Since completing chemotherapy, Hogan’s hair has started to grow back. He says his energy has returned to normal and he has resumed a full public schedule. Over the weekend, the governor spent three days touring Southern Maryland. Since being diagnosed with cancer, Hogan has become an outspoken advocate for other cancer patients. |
