"Nearly one in eight women in the United States will face this diagnosis. Every day, these women continue to raise their families, go to work, and serve their communities with strength and determination. I now join their ranks."
"During the treatment period, she will be spending virtually full time at the White House, which makes me, as President, very happy! She will soon be better than ever!"
"Within 20 minutes of Trump's post, Wiles was sitting alongside the president at a meeting of the Kennedy Center board of trustees. In opening remarks, Trump said Wiles had already begun treatment and described her diagnosis as a 'minor difficulty' that she would overcome."
Susie Wiles, 68-year-old White House Chief of Staff and the first woman to hold this position, announced her early-stage breast cancer diagnosis on Monday. She expressed her intention to continue working throughout her treatment, drawing parallels to the nearly one in eight American women facing similar diagnoses who maintain their daily responsibilities. President Trump publicly supported her, describing her as one of the strongest people he knows and stating her prognosis is excellent. Trump indicated Wiles will spend virtually full time at the White House during treatment. Within 20 minutes of Trump's announcement, Wiles appeared at a Kennedy Center board meeting, where Trump characterized her diagnosis as a minor difficulty she would overcome.
