Spokesman David Ammons said Wednesday that Reed was diagnosed last week. He has a malignant tumor on his left kidney, and surgeons will remove the entire kidney on Monday at Virginia Mason Medical Center in Seattle.
Ammons says that the cancer has not spread, and that Reed's prognosis for a complete recovery is good. He plans to be back at work in a few weeks.
