Friends,

I have some personal news to share. This morning, I had surgery at MD Anderson Cancer Center in Houston to remove small tumors that doctors discovered in my digestive system.

Thankfully, my prognosis is good. I’ll be recovering at home in Texas for several weeks and then I expect to head back to Washington to keep working for San Antonio. I’m grateful to the doctors, nurses, and staff at MD Anderson and UT Health San Antonio for making that possible.

During my recovery, my offices in Washington and San Antonio will be operating as normal. My San Antonio office is open Monday through Friday from 9 AM – 6 PM and my staff can be reached at 210-348-8216.

Thank you,

Joaquin Castro
