Dodd Is Released From N.Y. Hospital
 Connecticut Sen. Christopher Dodd has been released from the hospital after undergoing surgery for prostate cancer.A statement from his office said the 65-year-old was released Saturday from Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center in New York. Dodd spokesman Bryan DeAngelis said the senator is recovering well and is home in East Haddam with his family. The five-term Democrat announced last month that he had been diagnosed with an early, treatable stage of cancer. He expects to return to a full Senate schedule later this month. Dodd has said that the cancer will not affect his plans to seek a sixth term next year. He is chairman of the Senate banking committee and is playing a leading role in the effort to overhaul the nation's health care system. Posted by: Fred 2009-08-17 |
