From heraldextra.com:
Utah Attorney General Mark Shurtleff plans to stay in office and intends to work during treatments for cancer over six months.
He said Tuesday he will begin chemotherapy for colon cancer by the end of January. Treatments will be done every two weeks.
Shurtleff, 53, was diagnosed with cancer after a tumor was discovered earlier this month in his appendix during a routine medical exam. The tumor was removed, but cancer was found in three lymph nodes.
Flanked by his doctor, his wife and his youngest daughter, Shurtleff spoke to the media at the Salt Lake City medical clinic where he will be treated.
He was mostly optimistic, especially when vowing to overcome the cancer and have the strength to remain in office.
