Bp. Mengeling "cancer free" says spokesman

From LSJ:

Bishop Carl Mengeling progressing in his recovery from surgery to remove his cancerous bladder, Lansing Diocese officials said today.

"He is cancer-free by virtue of the fact that they removed the organ that had the cancer in it," said Michael Dibole, the director of communications for the diocese.

During the surgery, a biopsy of tissue samples from areas around the bladder showed no evidence of cancer, Dibole said.

Thanks for all the prayers!
