Klobuchar reveals she was diagnosed with breast cancer, has had successful treatment
Fox News
Sen. Amy Klobuchar, D-Minn., announced Thursday that earlier this year she was diagnosed with Stage 1A breast cancer, and has since undergone treatment that doctors said was successful.
"After a number of other tests, I returned to Mayo and had a lumpectomy on the right breast which involved the removal of the cancer," Klobuchar said. "In May, I completed a course of radiation treatment, and after additional follow-up visits, it was determined in August that the treatment went well." Klobuchar, who had vied for the Democratic presidential nomination in 2020, advised those who have been delaying routine medical examinations during the coronavirus pandemic to make appointments and be seen by a doctor. She said she had put off her own checkup, and was "fortunate" that her cancer was detected at an early stage.More Related News
