Jerry Brown, who first was diagnosed with prostate cancer in 2012, will begin a new round of treatment for the disease, his office reported on Saturday. Brown, 78, will maintain his duties as governor during the treatment, according to his staff. No additional details were provided about how long the treatment will take, or what prompted its timing. Brown initially learned he had prostate cancer in late 2012 and underwent similar treatment for several weeks. With almost two years remaining on his final term in office, Brown is already the oldest governor in California history.
