Hogan is expected to spend the next few days at the hospital for chemotherapy and will undergo four more rounds of treatments over the next three months, Fox News reports. In June, the governor announced he had a “very advanced” and “very aggressive” form of non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma, cancer of the lymph nodes. He has since pledged to balance treatment with the demands of staying in office.
