Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan announced Monday that he's cancer-free, after a five-month battle with stage three non-Hodgkin lymphoma.

Hogan, whose doctors had found 60 tumors in his lymph system in June, finished chemotherapy at the University of Maryland Medical Center last month. He said his doctors have declared him completely cancer-free with the disease in remission.

Hogan, who grew emotional at times, said during his family's Thanksgiving celebration next week, he'll "be giving thanks for the outpouring of love and support I've received over the last five months."
