Carly Fiorina, former Hewlett-Packard chief executive and high-profile Republican, underwent surgery at Stanford University Hospital Monday for breast cancer, her chief of staff said Monday evening.
Fiorina was diagnosed with breast cancer Feb. 20, the day before she appeared at a GOP convention in Sacramento.
"The surgery went very well. Her prognosis is excellent and she expects to make a full recovery," Deborah Bowker said in a phone interview with the Mercury News. "She remains enthusiastically committed to a full range of activities and looks forward to her future choices with great optimism."
Bowker declined to discuss what treatment the 54-year-old Los Altos resident will now undergo.
As the former HP CEO, Fiorina was the first woman to be hired then fired as chief executive of a Fortune 20 company.

One wonders if Carly would allow hospital staff to use any HP equipment designed during her tenure as CEO. Would she trust her life to the engineering for which she was responsible?

My mother-in-law was diagnosed in February, buried in May. The surgery and chemotherapy between those dates were most unpleasant.

I’ll say a prayer tonight for Ms. Fiorina. Just met her for the first time here in Pgh last year and learned first hand what a great lady Carly is.
