Scalise, the No. 2 House Republican, praised the decades-long FDA approved treatments for his cancer type, adding he has made a “decision to aggressively pursue it” and is one month into it.

“The good news is the cancer has dropped dramatically because of the success of the chemotherapy attacking the cancer,” Scalise said. “Thank God those prayers have been answered. We’re continuing to follow my doctor’s advice and my doctor said you can come back to work.”

Scalise added he is ready for a “full week of work and whatever else it’s going to take.”

[That’s excellent news. We hope and pray that the progress continues, and that Jamie Raskin’s (D-MD) remission continues as well. — Ed]
