White House Chief of Staff Susie Wiles, 69, wrote a personal essay published Sunday in USA Today describing what it was like to undergo chemotherapy while continuing to lead the White House staff for President Donald Trump. Wiles said she was diagnosed with early-stage breast cancer in March and announced on September 16 that she was cancer-free after roughly six months of treatment. She wrote that “fighting cancer is brutal and unrelenting” and that some days required all her strength just to get out of bed, get dressed and go to work, while other days she poured her strength into fighting the disease. She said work gave her a sense of purpose beyond appointments, scans and side effects.
