Boughton recovering from brain surgery

Surgery was completed sooner than expected for Danbury Mayor Mark Boughton.  He is at the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center, where he had a benign cyst removed from his brain yesterday.  City officials said that he is recovering well and that his medical team is pleased with the results.  Boughton is expected to make a full recovery. 

 

The 53-year old announced the growth Monday and said that his doctor recommended surgery sooner rather than later.  Boughton suffered dizzy spells and severe headaches recently.  About a week ago he called his doctor, who sent him to the Danbury Hospital emergency room. The cyst was diagnosed after tests, including CT and MRI scans. 

 

Boughton thanked residents for the encouragement, prayers, and well wishes that he received over the last 48 hours.  He is running for re-election as mayor in November.  He is also running an exploratory committee for a statewide office in 2018. 

 

Boughton will be taking a few weeks to recover before returning to work.  In the interim, City Council President Joe Cavo has moved into the role of acting Mayor.
