On Thursday, Pennsylvania Democrat Senator Bob Casey announced he was diagnosed with prostate cancer last month.
Casey, 62, said he will have surgery in the coming months and expects to continue serving in the Senate. He is the chairman of the Aging Committee.
“Last month, I was diagnosed with prostate cancer. While the news came back as a shock, I can report that I have an excellent prognosis, as well as the benefit of exceptional medical care and the unwavering support of my family. In the coming months I will undergo surgery, after which I am expected to make a full recovery. I am confident that my recommended course of treatment will allow me to continue my service in the 118th Congress with minimal disruption, and I look forward to the work ahead.” Sen Casey shared on Thursday.

Robert Casey is one of my senators. While I disagree with him almost all of the time, I do wish him well in his battle! God bless and heal you Robert Casey!
I wish him all the best also, but it’s nice to know that you have great medical insurance unlike millions of Americans.
We pay for our Senators to have the Best Care imaginable. Too bad that same level of care is not available to the rest of the country. Our Elected officials have better benefits and NO incentive to go back to the private sector.
1.5.2023 Casey as useless as Biden and twice as dumb. Has voted 100% with his party every time. Has no balls. As for his Cancer yep sorry but just remember folks his surgery “cure” medication even out of network doctors etc is all 100% paid by us the schmucks the tax payers. Prostate cancer even if caught early can cost over 500K and remember you and I cannot go to any doctor or hospital we have to stay within the network or pay $$$. Our Out of Pocket is closer to 100K, whereas this dumb millionaire bastard will pay $0 or at the most $5 per Rx. Yes sir great being a useless politician and judges are the same. Hey BOB, hope they mess it up and your pain is 100x greater than any other cancer patient. If the Angel of Death came for you and Fetterman, I would say BRAVO LORD BRAVO what took you so long.Oh and morons I am not a trumpie, I am a registered Democrat from the JFK Era but would not vote for any party or candidate without my own due diligence.
I just think being chair of the Committee on Aging & getting an old man’s cancer is amazingly ironic. I’m sure Biden will point the researchers he has who are curing cancer for everyone get right on this. Biden lost a son in the Iraq War, but he’s going balls to the wall on curing cancer. /sarc
