District 12 Congressman John Barrow announced Tuesday that he has been diagnosed with early stage prostate cancer, a condition that will affect one in six men during the course of their lifetime. Now in his fourth term, Barrow has represented Bulloch County since he was elected in 2004. A Democrat, he defeated Republican Ray McKinney in November.
