Best wishes

Illinois

I want to personally extend my best wishes to Corinne Wood.

More than 81/2 years after she had a mastectomy, former Lt. Gov. Corinne Wood is undergoing treatment for a recurrence of breast cancer that a former aide called “a little more aggressive than last time.”

But former deputy chief of staff Chris Hensley and Wood’s husband, Paul, said they are optimistic she will recover.

“She’s a pretty tough lady, and she beat the last one for almost nine years,” Paul Wood said. “And we are hopeful she will beat this as well.”

I may not have always written the greatest things about her, but I always greatly admired her tenacity in the face of extreme odds. She is, indeed, one tough woman.

Get well soon.
