Trump’s Chief of Staff Susie Wiles Gives Update on Breast Cancer Diagnosis - Newsweek

White House chief of staff Susie Wiles announced on Wednesday that she is cancer-free.

The news comes exactly six months after her breast cancer diagnosis was shared in March. Wiles, who is one of President Donald Trump's closest advisers, said she planned to remain in her role as White House chief of staff during her treatment. At the time of diagnosis, Wiles said the cancer was detected early, and on Wednesday, she announced that she had officially been declared cancer-free.

"Some personal news I’m grateful to share," Wiles wrote on X. "After a medical appointment at the Mayo Clinic this week, my pathology results came back clear. I am cancer free. Thank you to my family, friends, doctors, and everyone who prayed for me, checked in, and supported me along the way. A special thank you to President Trump for his unwavering support. I am deeply grateful and will continue to work to advance his America First Agenda."

When reached for comment, the White House referred Newsweek to Wiles' post.

Wiles is Trump's White House chief of staff, a position that was appointed to her after Trump won the 2024 election. She is the first woman to hold the role in U.S. history.

Wiles has led a lengthy career in Republican politics that has often put her in orbit with Trump. She was a senior campaign adviser in his 2024 presidential run and has been considered to have played a key role in helping him secure his second term in the White House.

She also served as his Florida campaign chair in 2016 and was an adviser for the Republican National Convention during Trump's 2020 campaign.

Trump announced that Wiles was undergoing treatment for breast cancer on March 16. A day later, Wiles released her own statement.

"Last week, I was diagnosed with breast cancer," she said at the time. "Nearly one in eight women in the United States will face this diagnosis. Every day, these women continue to raise their families, go to work, and serve their communities with strength and determination. I now join their ranks. I am grateful to have an outstanding team of doctors who detected the cancer early and are guiding my care, and I am encouraged by a very good prognosis. I am also deeply thankful for the support and encouragement of President Trump as I undergo treatment and continue serving in my role as White House Chief of Staff."

When Wiles' diagnosis was announced, she said the cancer was caught early and that she was encouraged by her prognosis. She also thanked Trump for his support.

Wiles and Trump have worked together for years, with her playing a key role in his presidential campaigns and during his Administration. During his second term, Trump has spoken positively of Wiles. When announcing her breast cancer diagnosis in March, the president said on Truth Social:

"Susie Wiles is an incredible Chief of Staff, a great person, and one of the strongest people I know but, unfortunately, she has been diagnosed with early stage breast cancer, and has decided to take on this challenge, IMMEDIATELY, as opposed to waiting."
