Democratic Sen. Michael Bennet of Colorado, who has been considering a 2020 Democratic presidential bid, said Wednesday that he has been diagnosed with prostate cancer. The 54-year-old senator said he plans to have surgery to remove his prostate gland during the congressional spring recess, which begins next week.
Bennet told the Colorado Independent Wednesday that he had intended to announce his presidential bid in April and decided to get a physical beforehand.

I do not want anyone to cancer. I would say retire, but Col Gov is Dem Polis
Michael Bennet says he intends to run for president if he is cancer free
He may run , but he is not getting the Dem nom when he is running against former Co Gov Hickenlooper /s
Removing the prostrate gland. How does that procedure affect his love life? He is a Democrat.
Since he’s a Dem pol, what’s love got to with it?
Sure, why not add another one to the field. He could get .0001% on name recognition alone.
Removal of the prostate gland usually results in impotence/ED. If Viagra and meds dont work they can have penile implants as a last resort to get erections via inflatable pump. Or just fahgedaboudit.
I don’t know his politics.
But, he’ll run. They all do.
Thats young to be diagnosed. He has a large probability of a recurrence. Personal knowledge.
If he dies in office, he'll be a Democrat Senator FOREVER!!
At least, he won’t be having sex with little boys and girls.
I’m a prostate cancer survivor, so I can crack jokes.
It’s a sign from God that a Demon-crap Senator has cancer of the a-hole or of the sh1t-hole.
Democrats never resign, too power mad. He will run, this was just to get sympathy.
Robotic surgery is such an enormous improvement in surgical techniques. I am happy that you had such a great outcome. My sister had spinal surgery and she is feeling great again after years of misery. Robotics allow for more intricate and accurate removal of the bad tissue causing the symptoms and problems in the patient.
I too had the Da Vinci robot surgery but now I leak like a sieve and wear a diaper. My result was one of the “few” bad results that they warn you about. On the good side, I’m cancer free pos 6+ years. I recommend the proton beam radiation instead of surgery as surgery has more bad results.
I was diagnosed with prostate cancer in 2012. I wish him the very best and hope it was found early as was mine.
Depends relon the surgeon. With a highly qualified surgeon doing robotic surgery does not result in ED or urinary control problems beyond a relatively short recovery period.
One of the best of the best is at MD Anderson in Houston.
Where did you have your surgery and how many had your surgeon done? Its best to have a surgeon who does them on a regular basis; 2-5 per week.
