I think I read somewhere he would be around saturday, so not sure if this is totally accurate, except for the part of cancer, which we are all very sorry to hear.

Is he really going to let us down like this? .... I probably would do the same but,,, delaying couple of more days to get his checkup isn't really going to hurt the guy I believe... I wish him luck and good health.

No his staff have confirmed that he will not miss the vote on Dream Act and DADT on Saturday. Tomorrow he is just going for pre-surgery testing not the surgery itself. KEEP CALLING!!!!

I don't think he'll miss on the Dream Act and DADT vote because his surgery is set to be on Monday. So, I'm sure that's why Reid filed cloture to give Wyden a chance to hand in his vote, he'll be a 'Yea'.
