House Majority Leader Steve Scalise Diagnosed with Multiple Myeloma
House Majority Leader Steve Scalise (R-LA) has recently been diagnosed with multiple myeloma, a type of blood cancer. Despite this challenging news, Scalise remains determined to continue his work as Majority Leader and serve the people of Louisiana’s First Congressional District.
In a statement, Scalise revealed that he began feeling unwell while on the campaign trail and decided to undergo blood work. The results confirmed the presence of multiple myeloma, but Scalise remains optimistic as this form of cancer is treatable.
Scalise’s treatment is expected to span a couple of months, during which he plans to work through this period and eventually return to Washington. He expressed his gratitude for the early detection of the cancer and the availability of effective treatment options.
“I am incredibly grateful we were able to detect this early and that this cancer is treatable,” Scalise stated. “With the help of my excellent medical team, the support of my family, friends, colleagues, and constituents, and the strength and energy I have demonstrated in the face of past challenges, I am confident in my ability to overcome this obstacle.”
