As reported by CNN:
Specter, who has overcome numerous serious illnesses over the past two decades, including a brain tumor and non-Hodgkins lymphoma, was diagnosed six weeks ago with the new form of cancer, the specifics of which are being closely shielded by his family.
Specter served in U.S. Senate from 1980 until 2011, making him the longest-serving senator from Pennsylvania.
Nearly all of those years, the political moderate was a member of the GOP, but he switched parties and became a Democrat in 2009, saying Republicans had moved too far to the right.
Our thoughts and prayers are with former Sen. Specter and his family during this grueling ordeal.
