Former Senate Democratic leader Harry Reid has been diagnosed with pancreatic cancer and underwent surgery on Monday to remove the tumor, his family announced.
Reid, who led the Senate Democratic Caucus for a dozen years until his retirement in early 2017, had the surgery at Johns Hopkins Cancer Center in Baltimore, and now plans to have chemotherapy treatments, according to the statement from his family on Monday.
“His doctors caught the problem early during a routine screening and his surgeons are confident that the surgery was a success and that the prognosis for his recovery is good,” the Reid family said. “He is now out of surgery, in good spirits and resting with his family. He is grateful to his highly skilled team of doctors and to all who have sent and continue to send their love and support.”
Reid, 78, has spent most of his time in retirement in Las Vegas and has traveled to Washington just a handful of times, according to a person familiar with his travels. He, along with former House speaker John A. Boehner (R-Ohio), serves as a co-chair of the MGM Resorts International Public Policy Institute at the University of Nevada-Las Vegas, and he also is a fellow at the university’s law school.

Kharma.
Good that he retired, now he can focus on recovery and his family.
I can’t comment about Reid, but I am sorry you lost your Dad, very sorry.
speaking of Ginsberg what do we hear of her?
Is she going to be on the heart lung machine throughout the duration of the Trump Administration??
For the Proles and Kulaks, yes. For the ruling class? "the prognosis for his recovery is good".
Ha....I bet she will live to 100. Such is our luck on these things.
speaking of Ginsberg what do we hear of her?......”MMph, MMMph. ZZZ, FAAARRTTT. ZZ”
At least he’s not badmouthing our president every hour.
It is a good thing he has obamacare they caught it early. Oh wait only us peasants have obamacare, ruling elite have the Cadillac plan. Wonder why they didn’t give it to themselves?
They gave obamacare to us hoping we will die off soon that is why.
RIP harry. You bastard.

Sorry to hear that. Sucks losing folks you love. It stays with you always. Time does not heal some wounds, for sure.
Sincere condolences to you.
Yes, it’s a very tough one. And by the time it’s diagnosed, it’s too late.
As if cancer isn’t bad enough, pancreatic is one of the most painful and deadly. Tough stuff.
He was an NRA guy for years...probably out of expediency for a Nevada politician. Then became NRA F rated about the time Obama arrived. In other words, scum.
“I thought pancreatic cancer was not curable period.”
It is... barring divine intervention. Patiehce.
““His doctors caught the problem early during a routine screening and his surgeons are confident that the surgery was a success and that the prognosis for his recovery is good,”
Good thing the sumbitch wasn’t stuck with his Obamacare...it would have broke him. Oh wait, the gonef is filthy rich from his political career.

I lost an uncle...a WW2 vet...to it and a decent boss right around age 50. It hits the good, bad and ugly equally.
I actually feel sorry for Dingy Harry. He’s is going to meet a terrible end with this form of cancer. I give him 6 months, the surgery is futile.
He’s done.
Pancreatic Cancer takes em out fast...
Oh My Gosh! I busted a giblet laughing at that!
