“I will be receiving chemotherapy in the coming weeks and my doctors are optimistic,” Ketron said. “While this will be a difficult journey, my faith in God and confidence in my doctors make me optimistic that there will be a good outcome.”
Ketron added that “I also appreciate the prayers of others as I walk down this path.”
The lawmaker said he wanted to let his constituents know “first-hand” about his condition.
