U.S. Sen. Mazie K. Hirono announced this morning that she has been diagnosed with kidney cancer and is undergoing treatment at a Washington hospital.
The Hawaii Democrat released a statement saying she expects to make a full recovery. She said an abnormality was detected in a recent chest X-ray, and she was later diagnosed with kidney cancer, which was also present in a rib.
Her treatment at Medstar Georgetown University Hospital will include surgery to remove her right kidney and an outpatient procedure “to eradicate the lesion on my rib."
“At the conclusion of this treatment, there will be no identifiable disease left untreated. My doctor expects I will make a full recovery from these treatments,” Hirono, 69, said in the statement. “I will continue working during my recovery, and look forward to returning to the Senate as soon as possible,” she said.

Whether you live in Hawaii or not, we are all lucky Mazie is fighting for her health, and for us all.
In an email sent to all her supporters, Mazie said she is definitely running for re-election in 2018.
If you can spare some support, I am sure she will appreciate it very much. Her site is

I was at her swearing in party at the Senate in January 2013. She is a real asset to us.
