Waukesha County Executive Paul Farrow is facing a new personal challenge: a diagnosis of mucinous adenocarcinoma, a rare form of cancer. Despite this recent revelation, Farrow remains committed to his role and the responsibilities that come with it. In a YouTube video posted on Wednesday, Farrow addressed his health issues and his determination to keep working, "I'm still going to be at the desk, I'm still going to be working as hard as I can. My appearance may be changing a little bit, but the attitude won't," he assured. This information was provided by Farrow's own statement which was reported by FOX6 Now.
Farrow, now in his third term, received his diagnosis after a series of medical examinations. Already undergoing chemotherapy, he believes that his work for the county remains paramount. According to WISN, "As I begin my treatment, I am fully committed to continuing my work on behalf of the people of Waukesha County," Farrow stated in a personal message. He emphasized his fight is not just against cancer but also for maintaining governmental stability.
Farrow's office has promised to provide updates concerning his health and any modifications to his official agenda. His aim to present a balanced 2025 budget this fall illustrates his unwavering dedication to his community in the face of adversity. "I have never backed down from a fight, and I won't this time either," Farrow told his county staff through a video message, as reported by WISN.
Despite Farrow's diagnosis and treatment, it seems that his political resolve is as strong as ever. With the backing of a medical team, along with family, friends, and colleagues, his leadership appears poised to continue undeterred. "I have a great team of medical professionals by my side and the unwavering support of my family, friends and colleagues,” Farrow added in the statement obtained by GM Today. The community and staff of Waukesha County can thus expect to see their executive continue his public service while he battles his personal health crisis.
