Susie Wiles Diagnosed With Early-Stage Breast Cancer, Will Continue as Chief of Staff

An early diagnosis with an excellent outlook means the first woman to serve as White House chief of staff plans to remain on duty through treatment.

Overview

  • President Donald Trump announced the diagnosis on Truth Social, and Wiles confirmed it in a statement noting early detection and a very good prognosis.
  • Wiles has begun treatment and, according to the president, will be spending virtually full time at the White House during her care.
  • In her message, the 68-year-old thanked her medical team and highlighted how many women continue working while undergoing breast cancer treatment.
  • Minutes after the announcement, she appeared alongside Trump at a Kennedy Center board of trustees meeting at the White House.
  • White House officials and lawmakers from both parties posted support, and there has been no announcement of any change to her role or schedule.
