Saint John East MLA Glen Savoie has been diagnosed with cancer.
The Progressive Conservative MLA announced his diagnosis Tuesday in a Facebook post.
Savoie said after experiencing pain and discomfort for some time, he was sent for an MRI, which detected the cancer.
“The original news came to me a couple of weeks ago, and I have been working with my medical care team to determine what cancer it is, and from that, to figure out a treatment plan,” Savoie wrote in the post.
“I cannot express my thanks enough for the expert care and attention I have received at every step in this process from our healthcare system. They caught it quickly, and have acted with all urgency, for which I am thankful.”
