Ocean County Freeholder John C. Bartlett has successfully completed radiation and chemotherapy treatment for cancer and returned to the board at a work session meeting Wednesday.<\/p>\n

\u201cI had very little side effects from either of them,\u201d said Bartlett, whose treatment was handled by the\u00a0Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania.<\/p>\n

Bartlett, who has not publicly disclosed the type of cancer with which he was diagnosed, said he will return to the freeholder board for eight weeks, at which point he\u2019ll need to spend five days in the hospital for a surgical procedure. He\u2019s taking the process with his usual sense of humor.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe last time I was in the hospital, I was five years old, having my tonsils out, and they were still using ether,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re thrilled to see how happy you are and how high your spirits are,\u201d said Freeholder Director Jack Kelly, welcoming Bartlett to the meeting.<\/p>\n

Bartlett is, indeed, in high spirits and looking toward the future.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs far as the cancer goes, it\u2019s highly treatable and that should be no problem at all,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
