Right in the middle of a somewhat positive news day, comes this:
Sen. Chris Dodd (D-Conn.) has been diagnosed with early stage prostate cancer, a condition that is not considered life-threatening, according to his staff.
Dodd’s political adviser Jim Jordan emails me:
“The condition was caught extremely early; the procedure will be as routine as it can be; He’ll be down, out of commission for just two or three [weeks]; his health is otherwise superb; this in no way whatsoever affects his re-election plans.”
Dodd spokeswoman Colleen Flanagan reported the same and says the procedure will be performed sometime in August and that Dodd discovered the cancer during a routine screening and has had “not symptoms whatsoever.”
via Dodd has prostate cancer, prognosis good – Glenn Thrush – POLITICO.com.
I am just going to say this; and I am sure that some Conservative Blogger or some idiot Liberal Blogger is going to read this and try say that I am fake Conservative or something stupid like that. Well, two words for ’em; Screw ’em.
Politics and the realm of Political Blogging is one thing. But, real life is another. My best wishes to Senator Dodd and his family during this time period. I know too well, what kind of thief and destroyer of life that cancer is. Let’s just say my family knows much about it.
Get well soon Senator; so I can whoop up on ya on the blog here! 😉 😀 😛
