Republican Arkansas gubernatorial candidate Sarah Huckabee Sanders disclosed that she underwent successful surgery Friday to treat thyroid cancer.
"During a check-up earlier this month, my doctor ordered a biopsy on an area of concern in my neck and the test revealed that I had thyroid cancer," Sanders said in a statement. "Today, I underwent a successful surgery to remove my thyroid and surrounding lymph nodes and by the grace of God I am now cancer-free."
Her doctor, John R. Sims, of CARTI Cancer Center in Little Rock, Ark., issued a statement, too, saying that the surgery "went extremely well," and he expects her to be "back on her feet even within the next 24 hours."
