Frank Lautenberg (D-NJ) Has Cancer

They are expecting a "full and complete recovery," but he's 86, and a "full and complete recovery" is frequently predicted in cases that prove terminal:

Sen. Frank Lautenberg, the nation's second oldest U.S. senator, has curable lymphoma of the stomach, his office said Friday.

Doctors for the 86-year-old Democrat found B-cell lymphoma that will require treatment over the next few months, spokesman Caley Gray said in a news release.

Mr. Lautenberg will undergo six to eight chemotherapy treatments and should make a "full and complete recovery,'' said James Holland of New York City's Mount Sinai Medical Center.
