'I am hanging tough. My energy is good. I'm losing about 40 or 50 hairs a day, I would think, to chemo. So that's upsetting,' Raskin said on CNN's 'State of the Union.'
At the end of last year, Raskin revealed his diagnosis of diffuse large B-cell lymphoma, which he called a "serious but curable form of cancer." He said he was beginning several months of treatment.
"I am about to embark on a course of chemo-immunotherapy on an outpatient basis at MedStar Georgetown University Hospital and Lombardi Comprehensive Cancer Center. Prognosis for most people in my situation is excellent after four months of treatment," he said in a statement at the time."The doctors are very optimistic and I'm very optimistic that the chemo is going to get the cancer," he told CNN.
