BLUEFIELD — State Senate Minority Leader Don Caruth, R-Mercer, announced today that he is battling a recurrence of Glioblastoma Multiforme, a form of brain cancer, which he was diagnosed with in November of 2008.

Caruth, who has represented the Tenth Senatorial District since 2004, is currently at home with his family while he continues to seek medical treatment, according to a press release issued by Caruth’s legislative office. 

Please keep Senator Caruth and his family in your prayers.  He is a good man who has done his best to represent the people in the Tenth Senatorial District.  While I don't always agree with Senator Caruth, he has proven to be a leader who has worked well with Democrats in Southern West Virginia on many important projects affecting our area.

Get well Senator Caruth you have a lot of friends that care about you.
