Arkansas Republican gubernatorial nominee Sarah Huckabee Sanders said she was diagnosed with thyroid cancer earlier this month
Sarah Sanders, Donald Trump's former chief spokeswoman and one of his closest aides, announced Monday she's running for Arkansas governor--a post her father, Mike Huckabee, once held.
Sanders was released from the hospital Saturday following a "successful surgery" and will convalesce at home, her team said Saturday. "This is a Stage I papillary thyroid carcinoma which is the most common type of thyroid cancer and has an excellent prognosis. While she will need adjuvant treatment with radioactive iodine, as well as continued long term follow up, I think it's fair to say she's now cancer free, and I don't anticipate any of this slowing her down," Sims added.
"She will spend the remaining portion of her recovery at home. Sarah is in great spirits and remains grateful for the exceptional care and service provided by the doctors and nurses," Sanders' campaign communications director Judd Deere said in a statement. "Sarah and her entire family are appreciative of the prayers and well-wishes from Arkansans and many friends from across the country.
