Berman Says He’s Continuing to Improve

TYLER — State Representative Leo Berman’s health continues to improve, according to press materials from the Tyler Republican’s office. Spokespeople say Berman, who was hospitalized last week and diagnosed with non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma, should be released from the hospital this week. According to a news release, “The Berman family was delighted to learn from Leo’s doctors that his cancer is not only treatable, but curable.” His medical team began chemotherapy treatment Monday, and it’s due to continue on an outpatient basis.

Berman said, “Although my cancer treatment has begun, I continue to coordinate my re-election campaign from the hospital. I am eagerly awaiting a final ruling on the redistricting maps, so the people of Texas can have a firm date for the primary election.”

Leo’s wife, Lou Ann Berman, commented on the outpouring of support from the community, “We want to thank everyone for their gestures of love and concern. We know God is answering prayers on Leo’s behalf–Leo is strong and positive. Please continue to pray for a full recovery!”
