Rep. Carolyn McCarthy (D-NY) announced in a statement Monday that she has a treatable form of lung cancer:
“My recent annual health physical revealed that I, like so many millions of Americans, have a treatable form of cancer.
“Several diagnostic tests have led to a diagnosis of lung cancer. A treatment plan will begin soon and I look forward to its successful completion.
“My doctor at Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center, where I’ll receive my treatment, has told me that I begin my treatment in good physical health and that he looks forward to my return to work after I recover. My family and I will appreciate privacy while I undergo my treatment.
