NEW CITY – Rockland County Executive Edwin Day is undergoing prostate cancer treatment, his office announced on Friday. Due to the detection of the disease in an early stage, he is likely to be cured by the procedure, his office said. The medical care took place in New York City in the morning and the prognosis is excellent and significant side effects are not expected, the office said.
Day expects to continue his official duties without interruption, but temporarily on a reduced schedule.
His father died as a result of unchecked prostate cancer. “Because of my family history of this disease, I am a firm believer of the importance of early detection,” Day said.
