Republican Rep. Lee Zeldin, who is running for governor of New York, said in a statement Saturday he was diagnosed with early-stage chronic myeloid leukemia last November, began treatment "with an immediately positive response and no side effects" and is now in remission.
"Over the last 9 months, I have achieved complete remission, am expected to live a normal life, and my doctor says I currently have no evidence of this disease in my system," Zeldin said in a statement. "My health is phenomenal and I continue to operate at 110%."
The four-term congressman, who represents the 1st Congressional District on Long Island, added that he has been traveling across the state while campaigning for governor.
