Radio host Mondale's cancer has returned

MINNEAPOLIS, April 2 (UPI) -- Minnesota radio host Eleanor Mondale says she is mad that her brain cancer has returned for a third time, threatening her life.

The daughter of former U.S. Vice President Walter Mondale said the potentially deadly disease has resurfaced despite her previous attempts at surgery, radiation treatment and chemotherapy, KARE-TV, Minneapolis, reported Thursday.

"I'm not scared," Mondale said of the cancer's resurfacing. "I'm just mad."

Mondale said the worst part of learning her cancer was back is doctors' unclear prognosis regarding her future.

"Is it going to be nothing? Is it gonna be a big fat tumor? Am I gonna have surgery?" Mondale, 49, told KARE.

The WCCO radio host said to stem the advancement of the disease she is taking part in a clinical case study in which she is being given an experimental drug.

"So I'm a lab rat," said Mondale, who is on disability leave from her radio post. "I don't know if I look like a lab rat to you, but that's what I am."
