Wyoming Treasurer Joe Meyer has been released from Cheyenne Regional Medical Center where he underwent cancer surgery about a week ago.

Meyer's wife, Mary Meyer, says her husband is gaining strength every day.

Meyer had been in the hospital since undergoing surgery on Nov. 9 to remove a malignant tumor from one of his lungs.

Hospital spokeswoman Kathy Baker says Meyer was released Tuesday to continue his recovery at home.

Baker says future treatment will be determined as his recovery progresses.

The 68-year-old Meyer is expected to return to work by late December or early January.

The Republican was elected state treasurer in 2006. He also has served as Wyoming attorney general and secretary of state.
