Susie Wiles, Trump's Chief of Staff, Declares Herself Cancer-Free
Wiles announced she has completed treatment and received a clear diagnosis six months after her early-stage breast cancer was revealed.
White House Chief of Staff Susie Wiles announced on Wednesday that she is cancer-free following a recent medical procedure. The news comes six months after her early-stage breast cancer diagnosis was publicly revealed by President Donald Trump.
Wiles shared the update on X, formerly Twitter, thanking her family, friends, doctors, and supporters, and specifically acknowledging President Trump for his "unwavering support." She confirmed that tests following her recent visit to the Mayo Clinic came back clear.
Wiles, 68, was diagnosed with breast cancer approximately six months ago. Trump first disclosed her condition on March 16. Sources familiar with her treatment told CBS News that Wiles had traveled to the Mayo Clinic earlier in the week for a planned procedure related to her ongoing cancer care.
Upon her diagnosis, Wiles had stated her intention to continue working through treatment, drawing a parallel to the many women who manage cancer while raising families and maintaining professional lives. "Every day, these women continue to raise their families, go to work, and serve their communities with strength and determination," Wiles said in a statement in March. "I now join their ranks."
Wiles has become a key figure in Trump's inner circle, credited with helping guide his 2024 campaign and managing the White House more effectively than during his first term. She informed Trump of her diagnosis immediately after learning about it, according to reports.
