Unruh Undergoing Cancer Treatment
State Treasurer Jesse Unruh has been a patient at UCLA Medical Center for the last two weeks undergoing “routine†treatment for prostate cancer, officials announced Thursday.
Doctors at the hospital were changing the doses of medication prescribed as treatment for the cancer that Unruh has been battling for three years, said his press secretary, Christina Youngblood.
“There is no crisis,†Youngblood said. “This is a fairly routine practice.â€
Unruh, 64, who won his fourth term as treasurer in November, was admitted to the hospital June 24. His office said he is expected to be released Monday.
