Daily News | Sen. Bob Casey has surgery for prostate cancer, and isn’t expected to need further treatment
WASHINGTON — Sen. Bob Casey had surgery for prostate cancer Tuesday and is not expected to require further treatment, his office said in a statement.
He is expected to return to a “normal schedule,” his office said, after an unspecified period of recovery. “This afternoon, Senator Casey underwent scheduled surgery for prostate cancer. His doctor reports that, as expected, the procedure went well and he confirmed that the Senator should not require further treatment,” said Casey spokesperson Mairéad Lynn. “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’s office has not said how long he expects to be out of work, but next week the Senate has a recess, giving him a window to recover when there are no votes in Washington.
