Rep. Carolyn McCarthy (D-N.Y.) said Monday that she had been diagnosed with a treatable form of lung cancer, and would soon begin treatment for the disease.

[SMGFan]

Time to retire but she won't.

I despise this troll of a human.

[Gay State Conservative]

Too bad she wasn’t riding that train along with her husband.

[mkmensinger]

She’s not my favorite either, but I shall pray for her.

[newnhdad]

remembering what my mother used to say...

Good thing for her that she has the Rolls-Royce level Congressional health care coverage, rather than the veterans health system or Obamacare, huh?

[boop]

I wish this upon nobody, but the headline is misleading.

All lung cancers are theoretically "treatable", but successfully?

Now that's another issue altogether.

[Bronzy]

Yeah, she got it before Obamacare’s death panel. She can thank Republicans http://www.slate.com/blogs/weigel/2013/05/09/republicans_heroically_refuse_to_appoint_death_panel_members.html

Seemed to remember JoPa Paterno also had a treatable form of lung cancer.

Not that it meant anything.

I wish Mr. McCarthy had chosen to exercise his 2nd Amendment right that awlful day when the psychotic Colin Ferguson used him as target practice.

I do not care for this woman’s politics but I wouldn’t wish a cancer diagnosis on anyone. I will pray for her healing, body and soul.

I wish her luck. I was diagnosed with lung cancer last year. Fortunately, they found it very early (stage 1A) and they were able to remove the tumor surgically. They removed the upper lobe of my right lung. A year and 6 months later, I’m still cancer free.

Cancer sucks ... I hope she recovers succesfully and loses her seat in an election!

[DoughtyOne]

Politically she’s the human equivalent of fecal mater.

That being said, I don’t wish cancer on anyone. I’m sorry she has contracted it, but I am glad it’s treatable.

I just can’t view these things as Leftists do. I actually care about humans, instead of just saying I do, then wishing others dead.

[digger48]

why do politicians and celebrities feel they need to tell us about their illnesses?

never mind....I know why

[basil]

I will join you in praying for her.

Cancer is a terrible, often very painful disease, and I wouldn’t rejoice if I heard my worst enemy came down with.

God can sort them out when they reach the pearly gates.

[Conscience of a Conservative]

That is a vile thing to say.

[Gay State Conservative]

That is a vile thing to say.

With all the damage that that...individual...has done to my beloved country I haven't even started.So sorry if you're offended.

"...treatable form of lung cancer."

Treatable, but it will more than likely come back, and she'll be dead in about 18 months. Both my parents and my sister died from lung cancer.
