Chicago, IL. ---- “On Saturday, March 1, 2008, I underwent successful surgery to remove a cancerous tumor from mysalivary gland. Th e surgery was performed at the University of Chicago Medical Center and the surgical team was led by Dr. Elizabeth A. Blair. I am resting comfortably at home. I am well into my recuperation period which should last for another three to five weeks.
“I am very blessed because although rare, this cancer was determined to be localized. Post operative treatments are to be scheduled after my full recovery from surgery.
“During that time, my very capable personal staff, as well as my subcommittee staff, is actively managing, under my direction, all legislative and constituent services priorities. Speaker Nancy Pelosi and other House leaders are well aware of my current status and are very supportive.
“Thank you for your continued support and prayers during my season of healing and recovery.”
