Senator Bob Casey’s prostate cancer surgery is a success

Here is Rashard Rose and Brian Rokus at CNN:

Sen. Bob Casey underwent surgery for prostate cancer Tuesday afternoon and is not expected to need further treatment, his office said in a statement.

“His doctor reports that, as expected, the procedure went well, and he confirmed that the Senator should not require further treatment,” the statement, posted on Twitter, said.

The Pennsylvania Democrat’s office added, “Senator Casey and his family appreciate the well-wishes and extraordinary support from every corner of the Commonwealth, and he looks forward to getting back to a normal schedule after a period of rest and recovery.”

Casey announced in January that he had been diagnosed with prostate cancer the month prior but had an “excellent prognosis, as well as the benefit of exceptional medical care and the unwavering support of my family.”
