Posted: February 25th, 2010 4:19 PM
Beaverton City Councilor Bruce S. Dalrymple today announced that he is fighting lung cancer. Dalrymple reported that he was diagnosed in early February and is currently undergoing treatment at Oregon Health Sciences University Knight Cancer Institute, a National Cancer Institute (NCI) designated Cancer Center.
"After a number of tests, it turns out that I am one of the estimated 219,440 Americans who will be diagnosed with lung cancer this year," said Councilor Dalrymple. "At this time, I fully expect to continue performing my responsibilities as a City Councilor throughout treatment. With the support of my family and friends throughout the community, I'm confident that I will beat this disease."
"I'm certain that Bruce will tackle this challenge with his usual focus and determination," said Mayor Denny Doyle. "I know that the entire community stands with him in this fight and we all wish him courage and strength on the road to recovery."
"Bruce is the type of person who will not be set back by this kind of adversity," said Council President Marc San Soucie. "I look forward to working with him, Mayor Doyle and the Council to continue to achieve positive change in Beaverton for many years to come."
Councilor Dalrymple had previously announced that he would not run for re-election to Beaverton City Council position #1 based on his desire to spend more time with his family and in pursuit of private business interests. Dalrymple said that he will now also focus on regaining his health and that his intention is to serve out his current term which runs through December 31, 2010. Dalrymple has served on Beaverton's City Council since 2006.
