BRUNSWICK — Georgia Sen. Mike Hodges (R-Brunswick) has been diagnosed with pancreatic cancer and is undergoing treatment, according to an announcement from the legislator’s office.
“Although this was news no family wants to experience, we’ve faced it together with faith, strength and gratitude for the care and encouragement we’ve received,” Hodges said. “I’ve visited and consulted with some of the nation’s best cancer care institutions and specialists to confirm my diagnosis and the best course of care.
“Based on their guidance, I began a treatment regimen that has proven to be of net benefit, so I’m moving forward with hope and determination.”
Hodges emphasized because of his positive response to treatment, he will continue fulfilling responsibilities and serving the people of Southeast Georgia while receiving cancer care.
“My commitment to the people of District 3 remains as strong as ever,” Hodges said. “While I could never know what the future holds, I will continue working on behalf of our communities and addressing the issues that matter most to the citizens I’m honored to represent.
“This diagnosis does not change my dedication as a public servant nor my resolve to stand up for what is right.”
State Senate District 3 includes the counties of Brantley, Camden, Charlton, Glynn, McIntosh and portions of Ware.
Hodges said he and his family are taking the treatment process one step at a time.
