Senator Specter Has Cancer
The AP's Jesse J. Holland has the story:
Senate Judiciary Chairman Arlen Specter, R-Pa., announced Wednesday that he has Hodgkin's disease but expects to continue to work in the Senate while being treated.Our thoughts and prayers are with him and his family as he tries to beat the cancer.
"I have beaten a brain tumor, bypass heart surgery and many tough political opponents and I'm going to beat this, too," Specter said in a statement.
Hodgkin's disease is a type of cancer involving the lymph nodes. Specter will receive chemotherapy every two weeks for up to 32 weeks at the Abramson Cancer Center at the University of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia, a release from his office said.
Specter's doctor, John H. Glick, said he has an "excellent chance of being completely cured."
