And you won't see my body at that morgue!

From Daily Southtown, Urkel's mystery medical condition:

Cook County Board President Todd Stroger underwent surgery on Monday to remove his prostate, as it was revealed that he's battling cancer.

Stroger, 44, was diagnosed with prostate cancer 10 months ago, according to those close to him who confirmed the illness after the Sun-Times learned of it. With his wife, Jeanine, at his side, he came through surgery well, and there is hope that the cancer, found on a small portion of his prostate, did not spread, Stroger chief of staff Lance Tyson said.

Removing the prostate is standard treatment for prostate cancer, medical experts said. Stroger is expected to spend the next two to three weeks recovering at home, Tyson said.

Because prostate cancer is common among black men -- and because it's the same disease that Stroger's father, former board President John Stroger, battled in his 60s -- the usually quiet Todd Stroger is expected to make this a very public fight.

Stroger plans to embark on a public campaign to raise awareness of prostate cancer risks and the chance of successful recovery if it's detected early, Tyson said.

"We want to make people aware of this," he said.

Stroger was diagnosed last year, not long after John Stroger suffered a major stroke in March and ultimately resigned as board president, leading to his son's election to office in November.

During the campaign, Stroger knew that he would need to have surgery. When it was performed Monday, his family released few details and requested that their privacy be respected.

Throughout Monday, Stroger officials repeatedly said he was undergoing a "routine medical procedure" that was "planned" and "not life-threatening" nor "an emergency."

County officials were surprised to learn that Stroger had been hospitalized and would not attend today's county board meeting. Even those in the highest ranks of Stroger's administration were kept in the dark about his condition, at the family's request.

It was only after the Sun-Times learned of it from other sources that Stroger's inner circle discussed the diagnosis and surgery.

When asked why more details weren't forthcoming about his illness, Tyson said Stroger is also "a husband, a father, a son."

Is the Toddler looking for sympathy from the public of his medical condition despite he is a incompentent county official who uses the Friends and Family plan to give jobs to?
