Fiorina completes reconstructive surgery in Calif

SACRAMENTO, Calif. — Republican Senate candidate Carly Fiorina on Tuesday completed reconstructive surgery following her battle with breast cancer.

Fiorina is resting after completing her final surgery, according to a statement released by her chief of staff Deborah Bowker.

“Carly is in good spirits and is happy to have concluded this difficult chapter in her life,” Bowker said. “She is thankful to her family, friends and the many people who have supported her throughout this successful battle.”

The 55-year-old former chief executive of Hewlett-Packard Co. had a double mastectomy and underwent chemotherapy and radiation after she was diagnosed with breast cancer in February 2009. She completed those treatments in October.

Bowker said Fiorina is looking forward to getting back on the campaign trail. Fiorina is trying to unseat three-term Democratic Sen. Barbara Boxer in California this fall.
