TAMPA, Fla. - Rep. Katherine Harris (news, bio, voting record) announced Friday she will undergo surgery later this month to remove an ovarian mass, which will be tested to determine if it is malignant.

The 49-year-old congresswoman, who is campaigning for the Republican nomination for U.S. Senate, will visit Walter Reed Army Medical Center in Washington for preoperative testing Monday, her campaign office said in a statement.

The minimally invasive surgical procedure is scheduled for July 17.

Harris rose to national prominence as Florida's secretary of state during the contentious presidential election recount in 2000.

She has held firm to her Senate aspirations despite lagging poll numbers, poor fundraising, and efforts by GOP leaders to find another candidate.

She is going in for a biopsy .
The definite diagnosis and the prognosis are not in yet .

Let's hope the biopsy turns up negative.

Sad that my second reaction was how the DU are probably cheering this news much like they celebrated Rush's mom passing.

OFCOURSE NOT !

To be sure, not all of the that kind of vituperative behavior is to be found at leftwing blogs, some is to be found here on FreeRepublic, on the other thread on this issue, a very nasty
posting was removed !

Lets all hope its benign. Ovarian cancer is a killer.
