Senate Banking Committee chairman Christopher Dodd, D- Conn., has been diagnosed with prostate cancer and he will have an operation during August when the Senate is not in session. Sen. Dodd said the cancer was discovered in an early state and his "prognosis is excellent." After the Senate adjourns, "I am going to have surgery. After a brief recuperation at home, I'll be back at work," Sen. Dodd said. The Connecticut senator is running for re-election next year. Sen. Dodd also is a key player in the Obama Administration's efforts to restructure regulation of the financial system and reform health care.
