Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan says he has "very advanced" and "very aggressive" cancer of the lymph nodes, but he says he will continue to work as the state's chief elected official.

He described it as aggressive, non-Hodgkins lymphoma, at least Stage 3.

Hogan, a Republican who took office in January, made the announcement Monday at a hastily organized news conference at Maryland's statehouse.
