5:32 pm
>> governor hogan says he still expects to be very active in the decisionmaking process at his job and doesn't see the need for lieutenant governor boyd rutherford to step in unless the treatment proves too demanding, jim and wendy. >> scott macfarlane. non-hodgkin's lymphoma is one of the most common forms of lymphoma. >> it is a disease that begins in the lymphatic system the network of tissues and organs that helps body fight disease n non-hodgkin's lymphoma, tumors form in the blood cell in the limb node, many types of cancer but symptoms typically include swelling in the neck armpits or groin, abdominal pain or swelling chest pain, cough as well as fatigue and fever. >> joining us now is dr. katherine broom, she is a hematologist and oncologist with medstar, georgetown university hospital. thank you so much for coming in to help us get through this. b cell non-hodgkin's lymphoma what kind of treatment is available? we hear cancer and everyone becomes frightened but how
5:33 pm
advanced are we now in treating this form of cancer? >> well, we are really very advanced. there are some wonderful therapies that we have that have been tried and true over the last ten years or so. one of the biggest treatments in treating b non-hodgkin's lymphoma is a targeted antibody therapy against the specific malignant b cells and has really given patients a lot of hope for a cure and long-term survival after treatment with this therapy. >> more about that, doctor. because everyone is wondering his chances and his odds. that was addressed at the press conference, too, to some extent, because no one knows, as you have mentioned earlier every case is different. but the fact that this had spread so much around his body discovered shaving kind of around his adam's apple and found several lumps just in his neck area alone and the armpit, the groin area and back, too.
5:34 pm
the fact it spread this far, what does that tell you? >> well it is not uncommon for lymphomas. the lymphatic system is a network of channels and the lymph flows freely through those channels so to find the disease in multiple places is actually quite common. it's more common to diagnose it in the later stage than it is in an earlier stage. >> interesting. i know we are going to now learn an awful lot about b cell non-hodgkin's lymphoma and of course, we wish him well and thank you so much for helping kind of educate us and get us along this path as well. >> my pleasure. >> thank you, dr. broom. >> thank you. for the first time, we are hearing from the family of kay ya wilson. that is the mother who was shot and killed in her oxon hill apartment in front of her young children. >> while police look at the gunman and look for him, her relatives are pushing for tougher penalties for this type of violent crime. news4's meagan fitzgerald explains tonight.
5:35 pm
>> reporter: kay ya wilson was the type of woman her aunt charlene nah young says you would have wanted to know. >> i remember her warm spirit. >> reporter: she was kind and always had a smile on her face but most of all, her aunt says she was a great mom to her young kids. >> she loved her children. >> reporter: on november 19, 2011, young says kay ya was in her oxon hill apartment baking cookies with her kids when a gunman entered looking for her boyfriend, who wasn't home. young got a call from her daughter minutes later. >> my daughter said ma ma, kay ya's dead. kay ya's dead. somebody shot her. >> reporter: 24-year-old rash sheikh bell was charged with kay ya's murder but was found not guilty so justice was never served, which is why kay ya's family has started this change.org petition pushing for legislation which would make sentences longer for violent crimes committed in front of children. >> so, something like that to happen in front of those children and to have him face -- to be faced with that dilemma
5:36 pm
all of that irlives and the trauma. >> reporter: nothing will take away the pain kay ya's family and her young children are forced to live with. but passing legislation in her memory is something her family says will ensure that her death wasn't in vain. >> i have to be that vessel to advocate for my niece that's no longer here. >> reporter: reporting in prince george's county, meagan fitzgerald, news4. later this week president obama and vice president biden will be heading to charleston. and with the past hour south carolina's governor called for a major change to the state's capitol grounds. news4's chris lawrence traveled to charleston for last week's tragic church shooting. back here now with some details. well, the president knew folks at mother emanuel personally, including the pastor. now they are going down to charleston so the president can deliver the eulogy for reverend clementa pinckney, the pastor of mother emanuel and one of the nine people killed in that attack.
5:37 pm
late this afternoon, south carolina's governor joined some public calls and said the confederate flag should be removed from the capitol grounds. governor nikki haley says more than 150 years after the civil war, it's time for the flag to come down. >> for good and for bad, whether it is on the state house grounds or in a museum the flag will always be a part of the soil of south carolina. but this is a moment in which we could say that thaflag while an integral part of our past, does not represent the future of our great state. >> yeah, the thing is she doesn't make that call the general assembly does and two-thirds of lawmakers would have to approve removing the flag. now those lawmakers are right now meeting to discuss a budget compromise. the governor wants them to debate this flag right now and says she would call a special session to bring them back if they don't do so. >> interesting. >> right. so you were in south carolina last week covering this, doing a lovely job of that.
5:38 pm
what -- what was the -- what do you think? do you think this is going to spur people to do this that they will finally get this political hot button thing this flag to come down? >> there's been a lot of people who have been very worried because the reverend's funeral is friday. and very likely, the people who come to that funeral are going to have to walk past the confederate flag. that is an image that a lot of people there in south carolina do not want to see at this point. >> and don't want the world to see. >> they don't want the world to see it. whether it's enough to make this change, again, you don't win elections in south carolina calling for that flag to remove. nikki haley just said i think this is an issue that has already been resolved in her last re-election campaign. so she is reversing herself now in this case, but we have seen some other politicians who had backed it after seeing what happened to -- to the reverend who was also a state senator. they knew him personlism and one politician said after i saw
