After being hospitalized for several days, the country's second-oldest U.S. senator, Frank Lautenberg, was diagnosed with stomach cancer.

The New Jersey Democrat's office sent a statement saying that Lautenberg has a curable tumor that will require treatment over the next few months.

"We expect a full and complete recovery for Sen, Lautenberg," said Dr. James Holland, who is treating Lautenberg. "The senator will be treated with chemotherapy administered approximately every three weeks. We anticipate that he will receive between six and eight treatments, and in between treatments, the senator is expected to be back at work in the Senate."
