White House Chief of Staff Susie Wiles Announces She Is Cancer-Free

White House Chief of Staff Susie Wiles announced that she is cancer-free after undergoing treatment for breast cancer diagnosed six months ago. She said pathology results from a Mayo Clinic appointment were clear and thanked her family, medical team, supporters and President Donald Trump. Wiles continued working in her role during treatment and said she would remain focused on advancing the administration’s agenda.
Wiles said her breast cancer was detected early, and she used her diagnosis to highlight that about one in eight women face the disease, saying she had joined the ranks of women balancing treatment with work, family and community responsibilities.
At 68, Wiles is the first woman to serve as White House chief of staff, making her recovery notable both politically and personally.
Despite undergoing treatment, Wiles maintained a visible schedule: she traveled with President Trump to Dallas the previous week for his midterm convention and continued working from her West Wing office.
