Gov. O’Neill Found Not to Have Cancer
Gov. William A. O’Neill received a clean bill of health Friday from doctors who removed three polyps from his colon, although one of the growths was found to have cancer cells.
“The governor does not have cancer,” Dr. Jay Benson said at a news conference at St. Francis Hospital and Medical Center. Removing the polyp with cancer cells “produces cure in 100% of the cases,” he said.
“I feel fine. My doctors have given me a clean bill of health and, of course, that’s extremely good news,” said O’Neill, 57.
