Carson Confirms Cancer Rumor

Last updated on Monday, November 26, 2007

(INDIANAPOLIS) - Democratic Congresswoman Julia Carson says she has terminal lung cancer.

Carson issued a statement Saturday saying she had been granted a leave of absence from Congress last summer to get treatment for a leg infection. The cancer was discovered at that point, after going into remission "years ago."

The 69-year-old began serving in congress since 1996.
