NEW YORK - New York Gov. Kathy Hochul announced that she was diagnosed with basal cell carcinoma, a form of skin cancer.
During a press conference Thursday, Hochul said her doctor discovered a "tiny, tiny speck on her nose" during a routine check-up.
"You can’t even see it," Hochul said.
She will be undergoing a small procedure for skin cancer on Friday morning.
Hochul says she will be back to work an hour after the procedure with a bandage on her nose.
