I’m still upset that Toomey isn’t in that seat after coming so close to winning the GOP primary for that seat.

Prayers for his recovery. Cancer is an awful disease.

While I have huge political differences with the Senator, all that is moot point... I wish him and his family a speedy recovery.

Specter said he was surprised the disease returned, because he had been feeling fine.

A doctor was once asked what he would wish for if he could have just one wish granted. He responded, "I wish that cancer hurt."

Unfortunately, feeling fine doesn't mean much in the world of cancer.

May Senator Specter benefit from his treatment and lead out the rest of his life with his cancer in remission.

Not good. I went through chemotherapy for Hodgkins about 20 years ago, and I was told that it would be much harder to treat if it recurred. If he has it in the chest and abdomen, that means at least Stage 3, and possibly worse.

It’s to bad the cancer has returned.

He was on Rush a couple of weeks ago talking about his book and his surgeries and cancer he had. The Senators not conservative enough for me but his story was really incredible and was a very insightful interview on how the disease/chemo knocks you down but you just have to keep getting back up.

I disagree with broad areas of his politics and dislike what he stands for, but I certainly don’t wish him ill like this. I hope he has a speedy and complete recovery.

Woo! I just read the article and learned of his past medical history. Brain tumors (twice), open heart surgery, cardiac arrest and now a recurrence of Hodgkin’s. Depending on how you look at it, up until this last diagnosis, he’s either been incredibly unlucky, or incredibly lucky. It’s a glass half full half empty situation. Despite his politics, I hope that he beats it this time too.

All my best to Senator Spector, I hope he recovers fully...

Since I don't really believe in coincidences, isnt though "coincidental", that on the Colbert Report last night Chris Matthews was discussing a possible run for Spectors senate seat in 2010.

Hmmm makes you wonder at the timimg.

I generally disagree with him but wish him the best in this miserable fight.

Prayers for the senator and his recovery. He's a decent individual just terribly misguided in his politics.
