WASHINGTON – Sen. Christopher Dodd, D-Conn., has been diagnosed with an early stage of prostate cancer and intends to have surgery early in August, his office said Friday.
Dodd intends to be back at work when Congress reconvenes in September, according to an e-mail his office circulated to fellow senators. The AP obtained a copy.
Aides also said the diagnosis would not affect Dodd's plans to seek a sixth term in 2010.

reaping and sowing... it’s a universal law... no matter how rich, or how poor, how honest or how corrupt
Same with Imus. Interesting - we had a guy at the office who had it around 7 years ago. Had the surgery is is fine.
No comment beyond...Prostate cancer is a miserable disease.
OK......
Let him check out Dendreon and its treatment called Provenge. They’ve had a noninvasive prostate cancer treatment that should have been approved two years ago that got shot down by the FDA under dubious circumstances. Lots of Dodd’s hedge fund buddies had a hand in keeping it off the market. Check out www.deepcapture.com for the whole story.
I wonder if he had to pick a urologist who was a member of his insurance group to be covered like we all will...
Best wishes and hopes that he beats the disease and recovers fully.
Con-summate Marxist…um…I mean Democrat Politics in action!
welp, next to being a black professor, that’s the closest thing a scam artist can get to a protective force-field.
I hope he has a full recovery FOLLOWING HIS RESIGNATION FROM THE SENATE.
Put him under Obamacare and give him a few painkillers.
i hope he recovers. I’d recommend he step down to fight it full time.
Give him a pain pill.

Of course not. Probably the only reason this information has even been made public is to drum up a sympathy vote.
He is still a corrupt, evil man who deserves jail time not re-election.
Extra serious when you’re as big a d*** as Dodd is.
I know it’s highly treatable, but I think we need to ask ourselves some tough questions. At his age, maybe just giving some palliative medication is the right way to go.
Best wishes, but the partisan in me at least has to question the timing as an either a attempt at the sympathy vote or maybe even a way to back out on a race it appears he can’t win.
Mr. Dodd...are youu going to Canada or UK for the best treatment??
