Nadine Menendez, accused of being involved in a bribery scheme along with her husband, embattled Senator Bob Menendez, has stage 3 breast cancer, the senator said on Thursday.
"Nadine is suffering from Grade 3 breast cancer, which will require her to have mastectomy surgery. We are of course, concerned about the seriousness and advanced stage of the disease," said Menendez in a statement, which he said was issued as a result of numerous requests regarding his wife.
