Prostate Cancer

August 31, 2009

From Roll Call they report

Rep. Jim Sensenbrenner (R-Wis.) has been diagnosed with early stage prostate cancer and is beginning treatment, the 16-term lawmaker said Monday in a statement.

“In late July, during a routine checkup, my PSA (prostate-specific antigen) levels were found to be high, which can be an indicator of prostate cancer,” Sensenbrenner said in a statement. “After some additional testing was conducted, the doctor confirmed that I have an early stage of prostate cancer. Fortunately, it was caught in time, and the cancer has not spread beyond the prostate.”

I wish Representative Sensenbrenner a speedy recovery and many more years as a “cancer survivor.”
