White House chief of staff Susie Wiles announced she is cancer-free after undergoing treatment, sharing her experience in an op-ed for USA Today and on X.
In her op-ed, Wiles detailed the relentless nature of fighting cancer, stating that some days simply getting out of bed and going to work required all her strength.
Wiles wrote that cancer occupied her thoughts constantly, from the moment she woke up to when she went to sleep.
She noted that cancer can make one's world very small, limiting her ability to be everywhere she wanted to be.
Despite the challenges, Wiles successfully underwent surgery, and pathology results from the Mayo Clinic showed no residual cancer.
President Trump praised Wiles during her treatment, saying she was winning her battle against cancer.
Wiles emphasized that cancer does not have to take away one's identity and that she continued to do a job she loves.
In a post on X, Wiles said she rarely writes about herself but felt compelled to share her experience to provide insight into the challenges of fighting cancer while maintaining a demanding role.

A federal judge ordered President Trump to restore White House access for journalists from CNN, MS NOW, and Politico, saying the ban was likely unconstitutional.
President Donald Trump banned CNN, MS NOW, and Politico from covering the White House, prompting the outlets to file a lawsuit on Monday.
