Former Governor Kathleen Blanco, who revealed Sunday that she's battling liver cancer is said to be feeling better after an initial treatment for the disease.
The University of Louisiana at Lafayette announced yesterday that Blanco, a school alumnus, will be guest speaker Friday at the Fall 2017 Commencement ceremony.
Blanco's family says a public outpouring of well wishes is credited in part for her progress in battling the incurable cancer she has.
