have the problem was back in late november, early december. >> governor, is this -- what stage is this? >> they didn't use that phrase to me. i don't know what you're talking about. [ inaudible question ] >> i think that's a loaded question. >> you think. of course i was concerned when i first heard, pu also treatable. prognosis. we have great courage and feel all right. i feel more than hopeful. >> dennis. [ inaudible question ] >> no, i'm not going to be

incapacitated at all by this. yeah. where? it will be in the york area. pennsylvania. [ inaudible question ] time with your family. how much time -- >> oh, no, that's -- i haven't had a vacation yet since i've been governor. i'm going to take a couple days. i'm not going to tell you. [ laughter ] >>. [ inaudible question ] just wondered if you had a chance to reach out to any of those -- >> i'm not a physician. i think we need to get some expert advice on this, but prostate cancer is something

that older men -- yeah. a lot of older men die with prostate cancer. not a lot die of it. so it has the unfortunate moniker cancer but i hope it's not something that's a slow moving disease. detected early it's something you can do something about. yeah. [ inaudible question ] again, three reasons. one, i wanted to be open. didn't want any speculation in case anybody heard anything. i do have it. second, to make sure that everybody knows having detected it early that there really isn't any impairment. and whatever the treatment that i'm going to get is not going to interfere with my ability to perform my duties as governor. and then the third thing is to make sure that i'm public about this that the importance of regular checkups so that you can

detect things like this wherever you are, whatever the problem is, you know, regular medical checkups really do matter. >> what i meant by that was have you reached out to anyone you know that has had it just to get the reassurance -- >> i know people who have gone through this. we have all know people who've gone through this. i have asked them what their experience has been. it's really not -- i'm convinced by people who have looked at this and by other people that have gotten this early on it's very eminently treatable.

[ inaudible question ] the treatment you're going to undergo. >> i'm not a doctor. well, i'm a ph.d.. my mother keeps saying it's not a real doctor. colonoscopy is how you find. test and special biopsy. [ inaudible question ] it's one of the normal types of treatme treatment. i'll just leave it at that. >> is it a combination of surgery and chemo? >> they'll be no chemo. no chemo. >> i'm sorry, i'm not very familiar -- >> that's between me and my doctor how i treat this, but it's going to be a routine treatment saying very

optimistic. >> what are they saying about surgery? >> i'm not sure what you call it. it's a fast quick in and out so i'm not going to be in a hospital as far as i know any period of time. yeah. again, it's treatable and controllable. i'm not sure when you talk about cancer you go into remission, cure comes at some point later. i'm not sure how they would characterize it. [ inaudible question ]

you get a number that says maybe you ought to check this out further. that happened in the fall. did the checks and biopsies. i don't know what you call the different, you know, x-rays and all that kind of thing. and each one of those stages to confirm and actually understand better what the nature of the disease is. and so -- but the first step was just a very general routine test. so it took some time to get -- where we knew exactly baht problem was, what the treatment would be and how long it would take. again, not to -- because i am not the medical doctor, i don't know full terms but this is not something that has to be treated immediately so doctors are taking their time. [ inaudible question ] excuse me?

>> when will treatment begin? >> in the next couple weeks. [ inaudible question ] >> you know, been tested all these years and, you know, you pay attention to the pssa? >> psa. >> psa. an academic test. anyway, you're aware of what the numbers are and what they might signify. so it didn't come and see iing i'm sad for tom having to go through the process. again, as i said, the doctors are, i mean, more than encouraging. they know how to get their arms around this, they know how to do, what to do. and there isn't, you know, any

indication of, you know -- we don't need to be sad about this. there's every reason to believe and to know that this will be dealt with quite efficiently, really effectively by the wonderful physicians. we're more than hopeful that he'll beat it. >> all right. thank you very much. >> been watching a live media briefing from the reception room from the governor's mansion in harrisburg, governor tom wolf and his wife francis revealing that the governor has a treatable form of prostate cancer. it will be treated in the next few weeks. and it will take several months for that to be treated. >> he said he wanted to make three points. he came out to talk about this because he wanted to be open, because of the early detection it will no way impair his duties as governor. and he said he wanted to make the point that routine checkups

matter because that's why they were able to catch this at an early stage. >> back here listen to sound bite from governor wolf. >> my wife and i just recently found out that i have a mild case of prostate cancer. we detected it early fortunately. but it's easily treatable. i wanted to do three things, first of all make sure you're aware of this in the interest of openness and transparency. second, to make clear that the -- what i'm going through is treatable and actually will not impair my ability to do my duties -- will not interfere with my duties as governor. and third, just want to make the point that i found this in a routine checkup. because i had the routine checkup, it was detected early and i can do something about it. so i want to make sure that this is an example why routine

checkups actually matter and make a difference. >> for a serious subject as this it was treated with the tone and tenor of this briefing it was very light hearted. >> yeah. and his wife said very encouraged by what the doctors have said. and he will begin treatment in the next few weeks, be treated in york. there will be no chemotherapy. but he didn't really get into details about what the treatment will be. he said that's between him and his doctor. >> yeah, he says he's going to take a little time and spend some time with his family, his children as he prepares for treatment. and he reiterated there will be no impairment to his job or his ability to run the governor's office. we're going to go back now to hear the governor's wife francis. >> no, of course i was concerned when i first heard. but, you know, also being reassured by physicians that it was early and treatable and a really good prognosis. i think we have great courage

and feel all right. you know, feel more than hopeful. nbc 10 breaking news. and we begin with breaking news. pennsylvania governor tom wolf has just revealed that he has prostate cancer. the governor said the diagnosis will not affect his ability to governor. good morning. i'm vai sikahema. >> and i'm tracy davidson. the governor just addressed pennsylvanians and he told us about what he has learned. he thought that he got first information in the fall. he recently learned that he has prostate cancer, a mild case. he says it's very treatable. he says it was discovered by his doctors during a regular checkup. his treatment will begin in the coming weeks in york, pennsylvania, should last for several months. the governor also said he'll take time off with his family before his treatment starts. the governor says he will not need to turn over his duties as governor during his treatment. he stressed several times the importance of regular screenings
