Sen. Claire McCaskill said Monday that she has breast cancer.
"It was detected through a regular mammogram," the Missouri Democrat said in a post on Tumblr. "It's a little scary, but my prognosis is good and I expect a full recovery."
McCaskill said she would undergo treatment in St. Louis for the next three weeks. During that time, she plans to post online her positions on issues under consideration in the Senate.
Her office did not provide additional details on the diagnosis or the type of treatment McCaskill will pursue. Yael T. Abouhalkah: Claire McCaskill has breast cancer and her critics embrace her -- really
Reaction to the illness was swift.
"Claire and I work together every day, and I certainly wish her and her family the very best as she deals with this difficult diagnosis," said Sen. Roy Blunt of Missouri in a statement. "I will step in in any way I can to help while she seeks treatment, and hope she makes a speedy recovery."
Other colleagues joined in. "Praying for a quick and speedy recovery for @clairecmc" said a tweet from Sen. Lindsey Graham, a Republican of South Carolina.

I wish her a full and speedy recovery.
I also pray for her to not use this malady as a reason behind any further liberal eroding of our freedoms. Getting a disease is no excuse for making people less free.
More the fool you.
I will make one last attempt to bring your out of your fog of sanctimonious sympathy for the enemy - Doomed attempt I'm sure, but here goes. Go back in time to 1969 - 70. Move in space to Viet Nam. Put on the uniform of a us combat infantryman and join a patrol.You then posted in response
I have no idea why wishing a women well because she find out she has cancer has anything to do with WWll
I have a news flash for you toots. WWII ended in 1945. In 1969 the war in Vietnam was NOT WWII, but The Vietnam war. I know that someone as ignorant as you've show yourself to be won't grasp the difference, but Really there was a difference.
Then your other comment
JEZZ you are clinically insane
This demonstrates your profound arrogance (often goes hand and hand with your level of ignorance - the dumber and more ignorant a person is the smarter they think they are and more positive they are of their opinions) I disagree with you so in your mind I must be insane because in your arrogance anyone who doesn't share your viewpoint must be insane
You're a hopeless case. You should join the ranks of the Bernie supporters if you're not one already just trolling here.
