That's really sad.

That's very sad. I sure hope he can finish his term and get cured without any complications.

[tmthforu94]

Sad to hear - he and his family are in my prayers.

[Thomas D]

Wishing him the best.

[warandwar]

Just terrible.

[Indy Texas]

Hopefully he comes out of all this with a clean(er) bill of health and will stay in remission.

Chemo can be extremely draining, physically and mentally (negative effects on cognitive ability are documented). Does Maryland have any procedure where Hogan could take a temporary leave of absence for a few months without actually resigning?

[Senate Minority Leader Lord Voldemort]

Hoping for the best for him.

But where's Wulfric's ratings change for the 2018 election?

Hoping for the best for him.

But where's Wulfric's ratings change for the 2018 election?

I refuse to speculate that far in advance.

[Eraserhead]

That's a shame. Best of luck to him.

[smoltchanov]

Sad. Best wishes and luck to him. I have cancer survivors in my family and lost a friend to cancer, so i know what it is..

One hopes... But this diagnosis is quite dire. Really sad.

His odds are 70% he will be alive in 5 years. Chemo apparently is very effective.

[Mr. Illini]

Terrible news from this week. Wish him the best.

[Oldiesfreak1854]

My thoughts and prayers are with him.

[NeverAgain]

Just awful, non-Hodgkin’s is just a terrible thing to go through. I hope he and his family have access to good treatment. They will be in my prayers.

[Horsemask]

Awful news. Thoughts and prayers his and his family's way.

[President Johnson]

Hope he recovers soon. Nobody deserves this.

[Fuzzy Bear]

Apparently, he's stated that they revised his diagnosis to a Stage 3 rather than a Stage 4, which is a very good thing.  He will, apparently, be able to work and take treatments.

I wish him well, and I wish him a full recovery.  I'm not saying he (or anyone else) deserves this, but I do hope that his unfortunate experience will enable him to gain empathy for folks in his situation that don't have the kind of resources he has to deal with them.  I'm saying this because I have family with serious medical issues and no means to pay for needed treatment.  Perhaps Gov. Hogan can be a force in the GOP to persuade GOP Governors to accept the Federal money and expand Medicaid.  God Bless him and heal him.

I wish him, his family and friends all the best.
