Gov. Brown being treated for prostate cancer
'Prognosis is excellent,' doctor says as governor continues on full schedule

Bookmark and Share
Gov. Jerry Brown's office announced Wednesday that the governor is being treated for prostate cancer.

Brown, 74, is continuing with his full work schedule during his treatment for the early stages of localized prostate cancer, according to his
office. The treatment is expected to be completed the week of Jan. 7, 2013.

His oncologist, Dr. Eric Small of the University of California at San Francisco, issued a statement today about Brown's health.

Small said, "The prognosis is excellent, and there are not expected to be any significant side effects."

He said Brown will be undergoing a short course of conventional radiotherapy.

Brown previously served as California governor from 1975 to 1983. He was mayor of Oakland from 1999 to 2007, and served as California attorney
general before being elected governor again in November 2010.

OMG, Crazy-As-A-Loon Moonbeam Brown might have to leave office, only to be replaced by wacky,sleazy, greasy, slimey, alcoholic, nut-job Gavin Newsom. Jumping from the pan into the fire.

What's so bad about Gavin Newsom?

Cholo,

You mean in addition to being a wacky,sleazy, greasy, slimey, alcoholic, nut-job? Well, let's see .... he's also a pawn for billionaire George Kaiser, a lap dog for Paul and whack-job Nancy Pelosi, and a lacky for Willie Brown. Excuse me, I've now got to go take a shower.

Cholo,

You should watch what you say, at least be accurate with your remarks.

Jerry Brown is not greasy!
