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."

229DAKI give him less than a year. That form of cancer seems to be a hard one to beat, no matter when it's found.

erj_pilotI 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.....

He did but it was a very rare type of pancreatic cancer and he was younger.
It still got him although many years later.

vinnybassAs 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.

darthfusterI 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.
