CBS Evening News Shows Photo of Elijah Cummings During Story on John Lewis’ Cancer Diagnosis

‘Hard to detect and among the most deadly cancers’

RUSH EXCERPT:

STRASSMANN: “Lewis was also the youngest leader in Dr. King’s movement. On the road to equality, southern racist beat him repeatedly within an inch of his life in Selma, Alabama. Lewis never raised his fist but he kept fighting. In 2011 he received the Presidential Medal of Freedom. Pancreatic cancer will be the fight of his life. Hard to detect and among the most deadly cancers. Its five year survival rate is 9 percent. Young knows one certainty in Lewis’ treatment.”
