RIVERTON, Wyo. (AP) - A Wyoming lawmaker says he is cancer-free after six weeks of treatment and ready for the legislative session.

The Ranger reports (https://bit.ly/1Nps3xF ) that Sen. Eli Bebout, a Riverton Republican, says his latest medical tests show that he no longer has cancer. The disease had localized in his throat.

Bebout began oncology treatments in September at Huntsman Cancer Institute in Salt Lake City. He then spent three months recuperating at home.



The senator says he is ready to report to the Wyoming Legislature when the session begins Feb. 8.

Bebout also underwent successful surgery for esophageal cancer after being elected to the Senate in 2007.
