Multiple myeloma is in the news again:
House Majority Leader Steve Scalise (R-La.) announced Tuesday that he has a “very treatable” form of blood cancer and has begun treatment that will last the next several months.
“After a few days of not feeling like myself this past week, I had some blood work done,” Scalise said in a statement. “The results uncovered some irregularities and after undergoing additional tests, I was diagnosed with Multiple Myeloma, a very treatable blood cancer.”
Scalise is right: multiple myeloma is very treatable. I'm living proof of that, still going strong nine years after I was diagnosed. At the same time, Scalise should plan on skipping a few days of work later this year. MM is treatable, but the treatment can knock you on your ass.
I’m still disappointed he survived the shooting.
Like +10. And yes, I know this is wrong...
Man, that's fucked up. I'm disappointed that the shooting didn't persuade him to rethink his stance on guns and health care.
Will he take the Evil Dex? Stay tuned!
As a Congressman, in leadership no less, he will get T-Car right away. You watch.
