Posey says he’s a cancer survivor
by Michael C. Bender | April 15th, 2009
U.S. Rep. Bill Posey says he is free of prostate cancer after undergoing surgery last year.
The 61-year-old freshman congressman said he was diagnosed in June and had surgery in December.
Posey, a Republican, told the Scripps Treasure Coast Newspapers editorial board Tuesday that he didn’t want to draw attention to the disease during his campaign. Posey said he was concerned he would be defined by his medical condition.

I hope Posey is around for a long time. I wish there were more level-headed people like him in Washington.
