White House Chief of Staff Susie Wiles shared the news she had been praying for Wednesday: her latest pathology results came back clear, and she says she is now cancer free.
The update arrived six months after Wiles disclosed that doctors had found early-stage breast cancer. She continued serving at the White House while undergoing treatment, largely keeping the details of that treatment private.
Wiles said the results followed a medical appointment this week at the Mayo Clinic.
Some personal news I’m grateful to share. 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.

Her message was brief, direct and full of gratitude. Wiles thanked her family, friends and doctors, along with everyone who prayed for her, checked in or supported her during the past several months.
She also singled out President Trump for what she called his “unwavering support” and said she will continue working to advance his America First agenda.
The Associated Press reported that Wiles underwent months of treatment after the early-stage diagnosis. The outlet noted that the 69-year-old remained one of President Trump’s closest advisers and counselors throughout the ordeal, continuing in one of the most demanding jobs in Washington.
Wiles had announced in March that she would stay in her White House role during treatment. Wednesday’s statement marked the first public confirmation that the months-long process had produced clear pathology results.
The AP also traced Wiles’ long political history with Trump. She co-chaired his successful 2024 campaign after decades in Florida politics and led his 2016 campaign effort in the state.
That continuity makes Wednesday’s update a personal milestone with unmistakable weight inside the West Wing.
Fox News carried the announcement Wednesday afternoon and emphasized the Mayo Clinic results at the heart of Wiles’ update.
The moment closes a difficult chapter that became public on March 16. At the time, Wiles said she was grateful the cancer had been detected early and encouraged by the prognosis.
She also made clear that she intended to stay in her post during treatment.
ABC News reported in March that treatment was beginning immediately. President Trump described Wiles then as an “amazing fighter” and said her prognosis was “excellent, beyond excellent.”
Wiles’ decision to keep working was no small commitment. The chief of staff is the president’s top gatekeeper and one of the most demanding positions in Washington, coordinating senior staff and helping manage the daily machinery of the White House.
She also occupies a historic place in the administration. Wiles became the first woman to serve as White House chief of staff after helping lead Trump’s successful 2024 campaign.
What are your thoughts?
Her relationship with Trump stretches back years, including her work guiding his 2016 campaign operation in Florida.
Axios described Wiles as one of the president’s most trusted advisers and reported that she planned from the beginning to remain on the job while receiving treatment.
The outlet highlighted the timing of the update: exactly six months after the diagnosis became public. Wiles said her Mayo Clinic appointment took place this week and that the resulting pathology report was clear.
Her public message then turned quickly from her own health to the people who helped carry her through it. She thanked the family, friends, doctors and supporters who stayed with her, before reaffirming that she intends to keep serving in the White House.

Wiles did not offer additional details about the treatment she received. Her announcement focused instead on the result, the people who stood beside her and the work she intends to continue doing.
After six months of uncertainty, it was the kind of personal news that rises above politics — and a victory worth celebrating.
