House Majority Leader Steve Scalise (R-La.) said on Tuesday that he has been diagnosed with “a very treatable” blood cancer and is currently undergoing treatment.
“After a few days of not feeling like myself this past week, I had some blood work done. The results uncovered some irregularities and after undergoing additional tests, I was diagnosed with Multiple Myeloma, a very treatable blood cancer,” Scalise said in a statement.
Scalise added that he expects the treatment will continue “for the next several months,” but that he will return to Washington, D.C. when the House’s weeks-long summer break ends next month.
“I expect to work through this period and intend to return to Washington, continuing my work as Majority Leader and serving the people of Louisiana’s First Congressional District,” Scalise said.
