Nebraska AG Back at Work After Cancer Surgery
(KTNC) -- Nebraska Attorney General Jon Bruning says he's one of the luckiest men alive. Bruning has successfully come through colon cancer surgery and says he’s grateful it was caught early, and treated. Surgeons removed eight inches of his colon.
Risk factors prompted doctors to urge Bruning to get a colonoscopy, which revealed the cancer. Bruning says he hopes his scare with colon cancer prompts other men to undergo the procedure. He says he's grateful the cancer was caught early and that it hadn't spread.
Bruning is back at work and expects to make a full recovery.
Meanwhile, Bruning says he plans to run for another term as Attorney General in 2014 and not seek higher office. He was first elected to the office in 2002 and won re-election in 2006 and 2010. He ran for U.S. Senate in 2012, but lost in the Republican primary to Deb Fischer.
