U.S. House candidate has Multiple Myeloma

Drobac has been undergoing daily radiation treatments for several weeks. Once those treatments are completed, he will begin chemotherapy.

Drobac is facing Eric Wafer of Harmony Township in Tuesday’s primary election for the Democratic nomination. Hart is running unopposed in the Republican primary.

“If anyone can beat (cancer) he can, because a lot of it is morale,” Wafer said. “Our prayers are with the guy.”

Drobac said his illness will give him a better chance to raise health care reform issues.
