Hagedorn’s wife, Jennifer Carnahan, reported that the performing surgeon said the procedure was a success.
The following statement was written by Congressman Hagedorn just prior to 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!
“A little over 23 months ago, I was diagnosed with advanced kidney cancer. Ever since, I’ve been receiving immunotherapy at Mayo. My body’s response to the innovative treatments has been fantastic. The cancer has been beaten back, degraded, and is localized on the kidney.
