PIERRE, S.D. (KCCR) – The August Work Period for members of Congress will be wrapping up soon as Senators and members of Congress return to Washington D. C. with input from those they represent.  South Dakota Senator Mike Rounds will use his final days of the break helping his wife Jean as she fights a cancerous tumor.

Rounds says his wife has been strong so far through the process.

Rounds says the tumor has greatly reduced in size.

Jean Rounds was diagnosed with an aggressive malignant high-grade tumor near her sciatic nerve in mid-June.
