Gov. Bill Walker announced Friday that he’s been diagnosed with prostate cancer. Following his doctor’s advice, he will have surgery in December to remove it.
Walker said the cancer is “certainly treatable. It was found not as a result of any particular symptoms, just regular testing, which I certainly encourage others to do.”
