McCaskill diagnosed with breast cancer

[GIdget2004]

I very recently learned that I have breast cancer. It was detected through a regular mammogram. It's a little scary, but my prognosis is good and I expect a full recovery. I will be in St Louis for the next 3 weeks receiving treatment. During this time my staff will continue to assist Missourians and I will be posting on my Senate website (McCaskill.senate.gov) how I would have voted on any matters that come before the Senate during my absence—which I'll also enter into the Congressional record. Additionally, I'll be submitting questions in writing for any missed Senate hearings.

Thank you for the honor of serving you in the Senate.

Praying God’s work be done.

As a citizen of Missouri, I have always opposed and voted against McCaskill. However, I wish her well with her health.

It was detected through a regular mammogram.

Regular mammograms saved my wife's life.

It was detected through a regular mammogram.

Dollars to doughnuts, she didn't get it done at PP. (Since they don't do them.)

Prayers up for her recovery.

Missouri will find a relative of her’s to take her place.....out of sympathy.

[No Dems 2016]

While I don’t agree with her on most (if not all) issues, I certainly wish her no ill. I hope she gets well.

I hope she gets well and beats this dreadful killer.

Maybe she ought to retire to battle this disease and to spend more time with her family.

To quote Bill Clinton’s Surgeon General: “Everybody dies from somethin’.”

My wife as well. She prayed about it and came to the decision to have a double and go with the implants in lieu of having a chance for it to come back. One of her favorite T-shirts says;

Of course they are fake, my real ones were trying to kill me!

Positive mental attitude.

[Smokin' Joe]

Prayers up for a successful recovery.

[hoosiermama]

Prayers for a cure for this dreaded disease and for the senators complete recovery.

[BamaAndy]

That’s class.

I pray she has full recovery but also that she is beaten next time at the polls.

We've had breast cancer in our family... mothers, daughters, daughters-in-law... not all at once and not all of us of course! One found by feeling a lump, the others found in mammograms. And all but one is past the critical 5 year mark! It's a terrible scare, but thankfully if caught early there is a high percentage of success in treatment. I pray for her, and her family to all have the same success we have been so fortunate to experience!

Bet she wishes she had Obamacare now. :)

first, hope she recovers and lives a full life...

secondly, the rats just love to pull the sympathy " poor me"" how can you be so mean to her" card..

I expect it this time too...

[libstripper]

Me, too. I had apparently successful surgery for colon cancer last year. Cancer’s a horrible enemy, even when.it afflicts a DemonCrap.
