ROCHESTER, Minn. – Congressman Jim Hagedorn had a kidney and surrounding tissues removed Monday morning at Mayo Clinic as part of his fight against cancer.
According to the Congressman’s wife, Jennifer Carnahan, the performing surgeon said the procedure was a success and Jim is resting comfortably.
His office says Hagedorn wrote the following message just before his surgery:
“Jennifer and I are at the Mayo Clinic this morning for my elective kidney resection surgery. For those wondering if this is good news, it is!”
