Sarah Huckabee Sanders says she had successful surgery for thyroid cancer

Former White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders arrives to speak before former President Donald Trump at an America First Policy Institute

Sarah Huckabee Sanders announced Friday that she underwent a successful surgery to remove her thyroid gland and surrounding lymph nodes after learning earlier this month that she had thyroid cancer.

The Arkansas GOP gubernatorial candidate and former White House press secretary said she is now cancer-free.

“I want to thank the Arkansas doctors and nurses for their world-class care, as well as my family and friends for their love, prayers, and support. I look forward to returning to the campaign trail soon,” Sanders said in a statement. “This experience has been a reminder that whatever battle you may be facing, don’t lose heart. As governor, I will never quit fighting for the people of our great state.”
