Former Democratic leader Harry Reid is being treated for pancreatic cancer Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid of Nev. speaks to reporters on Capitol Hill in Washington, Tuesday, May 10, 2016. AP PHOTO/MANUEL BALCE CENETA Last Updated May 14, 2018 5:46 PM EDT Former Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nevada, is being treated for pancreatic cancer, his family said in a statement Monday. Reid underwent surgery Monday at Johns Hopkins Cancer Center to remove a tumor from his pancreas. "His doctors caught the problem early during a routine screening and his surgeons are confident that the surgery was a success and that the prognosis for his recovery is good," the family statement said. Reid is out of surgery and in good spirits, his family went on to say, and he will now undergo chemotherapy as the next step in his treatment. Senate Minority Leader Charles Schumer, D-New York, has spoken to Reid's family and said "it seems @SenatorReid's operation went well." Republican colleagues also sent their good wishes. Arizona Sen. John McCain, who is suffering from brain cancer, tweeted, "From one cantankerous senator to another, sending my prayers & best wishes to @SenatorReid as he recovers from a successful surgery." And former House Speaker John Boehner tweeted, "You're a fighter, Harry. You can whip this. Prayers for @SenatorReid and his family and team." https://www.cbsnews.com/news/f...r-pancreatic-cancer/ _________________________ | ||

I give him less than a year. That form of cancer seems to be a hard one to beat, no matter when it's found. _________________________________________________________________________ “A man’s treatment of a dog is no indication of the man’s nature, but his treatment of a cat is.

I just really can't find anything nice to say about this, so I'll just not say anything. But I'm sure you all know what I'm thinking..... "If you’re a leader, you lead the way. Not just on the easy ones; you take the tough ones too…” – MAJ Richard D. Winters (1918-2011), E Company, 2nd Battalion, 506th Parachute Infantry Regiment, 101st Airborne "Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil... Therefore, as tongues of fire lick up straw and as dry grass sinks down in the flames, so their roots will decay and their flowers blow away like dust; for they have rejected the law of the Lord Almighty and spurned the word of the Holy One of Israel." - Isaiah 5:20,24 | |||

Didn't Jobs live a long time with pancreatic cancer? The fish is mute, expressionless. The fish doesn't think because the fish knows everything. | |||

He did but it was a very rare type of pancreatic cancer and he was younger. It still got him although many years later. ___________________________ Avoid buying ChiCom/CCP products whenever possible. | |||

What a fucking shame. Not really.  Too bad him and the guy from AZ don't use government healthcare. _____________ | |||

is circumspective |
As a long-time Nevadan, I have no positive wishes to send along to him. As a Christian I pray for his suffering here on earth to be short. I'm guessing his suffering after this will be eternal. He and his ilk have done immeasurable damage to our republic. I, for one, can't overlook that. "We're all travelers in this world. From the sweet grass to the packing house. Birth 'til death. We travel between the eternities." | |||

Odds are he goes before Songbird John. RMD TL Davis: “The Second Amendment is special, not because it protects guns, but because its violation signals a government with the intention to oppress its people…” Remember: After the first one, the rest are free. | |||

delicately calloused |
I think McCain likes to think of himself as cantankerous. Gives him a sense of power. Well, John, the first shall be last and the last shall be first. Put that in your pipe and smoke it. You’re a lying dog-faced pony soldier | |||

That was my first thought. "Liberty lies in the hearts of men and women. When it dies there, no constitution, no law, no court can save it....While it lies there, it needs no constitution, no law, no court to save it" - Judge Learned Hand, May 1944 | |||
