Mayor's doctors say she'd make a good governor

"I have not doubt that her experience with breast cancer will make her a better person and a better governor," said Dr. John Link, an oncologist and the medical director of the Memorial Breast Center in Long Beach, Calif.

Jones, a Democrat running for governor, was diagnosed with breast cancer in January and had a lumpectomy shortly after that to remove a malignant growth. She has undergone chemotherapy treatments.

The doctor who performed Jones' surgery, Dr. Armando Giuliano of Santa Monica, Calif., said Jones demonstrates that when breast cancer is detected early and treated aggressively, it doesn't have to diminish the quality of life.

"She is a healthy and intelligent woman who will service the people of Nevada for many years to come."
