FOR RELEASE: Immediate Aug. 30, 2005 CONTACT: Katherine Cardino Tel: (201) 653-1466 Statement from Senator Bernard F. Kenny, Jr. on Diagnosis of Early Stage Prostate Cancer Hoboken - Senator Bernard F. Kenny, Jr. released the following statement today: "After undergoing a routine screening earlier this month, I was diagnosed by my physician with early stage prostate cancer. My doctors have informed me that because it was detected early, my cancer is treatable and that I should expect a full recovery. Next week I will undergo surgery at Robert Wood Johnson Hospital in New Brunswick to have my prostate removed. I've been told that after several weeks of rest, I can return to work. I look forward to resuming my work on behalf of the people of the 33rd Senate district and my service as Majority Leader. "I was fortunate to catch this cancer early, and because I did so, I am looking forward to a full recovery. Prostate cancer is treatable in almost every case when caught early. I hope my experience will serve as a reminder to all New Jerseyans of the importance of seeing their doctors and getting regular screenings." ### Jason Butkowski New Jersey Senate Democratic Office P: (609) 292-5215 F: (609) 984-1235
