White House chief of staff Susie Wiles has been diagnosed with early stage breast cancer but will continue her duties during treatment. President Donald Trump shared the news on social media, saying that Wiles’ prognosis is “excellent” and calling her “one of the strongest people I know.” In a statement to the New York Times, Wiles said she was “encouraged by the strong prognosis” and thanked Trump for his support. “Nearly one in eight women in the United States will face this diagnosis,” Wiles said. “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.”
