Leon County sheriff discusses his battle with cancer
July 6th, 2008
Leon County Sheriff Larry Campbell announced last month to the public that he was cancer-free, nine months after having surgery on his right lung.
“I waited until I had two four-month checkups to make sure the first one wasn’t some kind of fluke or aberration,” said Campbell, who’s running for a fourth term this November. “On top of that, I have had a number of people who said I was in the process of dying and that I wouldn’t be running for sheriff, and I was in terrible shape.”
