Dem Rep. Jamie Raskin Reveals Cancer Diagnosis

December 28, 2022 Democrats, Politics

Via press release from Rep. Jamie Raskin:

After several days of tests, I have been diagnosed with diffuse large B cell lymphoma, which is a serious but curable form of cancer.

I am about to embark on a course of chemo-immunotherapy on an outpatient basis at Med Star Georgetown University Hospital and Lombardi Comprehensive Cancer Center.

Prognosis for most people in my situation is excellent after four months of treatment.

I plan to get through this and, in the meantime, to keep making progress every day in Congress for American democracy.

I expect I’ll be able to work through this period but have been cautioned by my doctors to reduce unnecessary exposure to avoid COVID-19, the flu and other viruses.

NEW: Rep. Jamie Raskin announced that he has been diagnosed with cancer. The congressman said in a statement that he has Diffuse Large B Cell Lymphoma, a “serious but curable form of cancer.” https://t.co/umohFfqt86
