Danbury Mayor to undergo surgery for brain cyst

Danbury Mayor Mark Boughton announced today that he will be undergoing surgery for a epidermoid cyst that has been found on his brain.

"After discussions with my doctor and several medical professionals, we have determined that the best course of treatment is the immediate removal of the cyst. I will be undergoing the surgery this week at the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center," Boughton says.

Boughton is expected to make a full recovery following the surgery. "I expect to be back serving the people of Danbury within a few weeks," he says.

The longtime Danbury Mayor expresses his thanks to all who have offered their support, especially the medical professionals at Danbury Hospital as well as his surgeon, Dr. Robert Friedlander of the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center.

"Together, we will rise to any occasion that is put in front of us and continue fighting for the City of Danbury and Connecticut’s Comeback. God bless each of you," he says.
