Tampa, Florida - Congresswoman Katherine Harris will visit Walter Reed Army Medical Center in Washington, D.C. on Monday, July 10th to undergo pre-operative testing to remove an ovarian mass. The preventative surgery is scheduled for July 17th at Walter Reed.
Harris' doctor, Dr. John Eisold, attending physician to Congress said Harris' condition is low-risk for malignancy. The mass will be removed by the use of a minimally invasive laparoscopic surgical procedure. A biopsy will be performed following the surgery to establish if the mass is malignant or benign, and will determine the course for any subsequent treatment.
“I know I am in good hands with the doctors at Walter Reed and am looking forward to a speedy recovery and returning to my duties in Congress and hitting the campaign trail. I hope that women across the state of Florida and our nation will take this opportunity to ask their doctors about ovarian cancer risks, as well as ask them about breast cancer, and general women's health issues. It is vitally important for women of all ages to get annual physical exams, eat well, exercise, and follow the advice of their doctor,” Harris said.

Prayers for Katherine!
I didn't realize there is an attending physician to Congress.
Tough break. Hoping for the best outcome.
She will send Nelson back home, adding one more sane voice in the U.S. Senate.
Sounds like a form of endometriosis. My wife had it and it's very treatable. Fortunately she should be fine.
This statement you just made is despicable.
I think God told her "You have CANCER, go to the HOSPITAL!" :-)
Yes...and why issue a news release?
I'm not sure Kate aspires to climb and climb and climb the political ladder ... she probably wants to just lay back and have a family ... just an opinion ... Psst .. Katey .... over here !
stfu. What a vicious and cruel thing to say. Yea..that's the God I worship. Idiot.
"Same here. but I wonder if God is trying to tell her something. Just a thought."
Or maybe the devil is trying to stop her. Or maybe, just maybe she is a middle aged woman with a few health issues.
Best wishes to her.
