The former congressman and Herald Community Newspapers columnist says he’s in good spirits after surgery last week that removed a malignant cancerous tumor from the wall of his stomach.

“Doctors are confident the operation was successful,” King wrote on Twitter soon after the procedure. “All cancer has been removed, and no radiation.”

The surgery was performed by Dr. Matthew Weiss at Long Island Jewish Medical Center, King said, expressing gratitude to Weiss and the entire medical staff at Northwell Health. He even vowed to call in to his regular radio show on 77WABC from his hospital bed with host Sid Rosenberg.

“Even in my weakened state, I will be ready to debate and discuss the issues of the day with Sid,” said King, who accompanied the tweet with a picture of him smiling from his hospital bed. “Be sure to listen!”

King served in the U.S. House representing a large part of Nassau County between 1993 and his retirement in 2021. During that time, he chaired the House Homeland Security Committee. Before that, he spent more than a decade as Nassau’s comptroller.

In his most recent column published across some 18 editions of Herald Community Newspapers, King called for those who leak military secrets— like those alleged to have happened with U.S. Air Guardsman Jack Teixeira — should face “severe consequences.”

“Bottom line: I’m back in good health,” King said. “All that can screw it up is if I walk off the curb and get hit by a bus.”
