* I wish her nothing but the best…

State Rep. Deborah Mell has breast cancer.

Reached at home Wednesday night, the North Side Democrat confirmed that she has been diagnosed with Stage 1 breast cancer, and is undergoing tests to help guide her choice of treatment options.

She declined to elaborate further. But she did take time Wednesday night to thank a well-wisher on Twitter, who sent her a message offering prayers for a quick recovery.
