| Independent MP Bill Casey of Nova Scotia to have surgery for prostate ...
AMHERST, N.S. - A Nova Scotia MP who was kicked out of the federal Conservative caucus for voting against the budget last year is undergoing treatment for prostate cancer. Bill Casey, who sits as an Independent in the House of Commons, is having surgery on Thursday. "The prognosis is that will eliminate the problem," he said Tuesday in an interview. "There may be some other treatments after that just to make sure." He said he expects to be off work for six weeks. Casey, 62, said the cancer was diagnosed during a routine blood test. He said he'd had no symptoms of prostate cancer and was caught by surprise when the tests and biopsies showed he would need the operation. He expects a full recovery and plans to resume his political career by April, including seeking re-election.
