Today, Former Democratic Leader Harry Reid underwent
surgery at Johns Hopkins Cancer Center to remove a tumor from his
pancreas. His doctors caught the problem early during a routine
screening and his surgeons are confident that the surgery was a success
and that the prognosis for his recovery is good. He will undergo
chemotherapy as the next step in his treatment. He is now out of
surgery, in good spirits and resting with his family. He is grateful to
his highly skilled team of doctors and to all who have sent and continue
to send their love and support,” the statement said.
Reporting for the
New York Times Magazine on Jan. 2, 2019, Mark Leibovich writes:
Reid, who is 79, does not have long to live. I hate to be so abrupt about this….
I had planned to visit Reid, who had not granted an interview since
his cancer diagnosis, in November, but he put me off, saying he felt too
weak. People close to him were saying that he had months left, if not
weeks….
Reid’s health, even before the cancer diagnosis, was a factor in
opting not to seek re-election for a sixth Senate term in 2016. Over the
last few months, he has had chemotherapy and two back surgeries….
Reid had dismissed Trump as a “spoiled brat,” a “con man” and a
“human leech.”… In 2016, he dismissed Trump as “a big fat guy” who
“didn’t win many fights.”
