State Sen. Barbara Favola, who represents the majority of Arlington County, is undergoing treatment for uterine cancer.
In a social media post today (Monday), the 69-year-old said she successfully underwent a hysterectomy on Friday at Virginia Hospital Center.
Favola, who represents Virginia’s 40th Senate District, has served in the state Senate since 2012. Her current district includes most of Arlington, except for the county’s southeast corner.
