White House Chief of Staff Susie Wiles has announced that she is cancer-free, six months after publicly revealing that she had been diagnosed with breast cancer.

Wiles, 68, shared the update on Wednesday, September 16, following a medical appointment at the Mayo Clinic. She said her pathology results came back clear and thanked her family, friends, doctors and supporters for standing by her during her treatment.

Wiles also thanked President Donald Trump for his support and said she remained committed to her work at the White House. She has continued working during her treatment rather than taking a leave of absence.

Wiles first announced her breast cancer diagnosis in March, saying the disease had been detected early. At the time, she said she had an excellent team of doctors guiding her care and that she had received an encouraging prognosis.

She also noted that breast cancer affects approximately one in eight women in the United States and said she had joined the many women who continue raising families, working and serving their communities while dealing with the disease.

According to reports, Wiles underwent a medical procedure related to her diagnosis at the Mayo Clinic earlier this week. She returned to her White House duties shortly afterward, making calls and holding meetings.

News of Wiles' recovery prompted messages of congratulations from members of the Trump administration and others. Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. publicly celebrated the news, saying he and his wife, Cheryl Hines, were celebrating Wiles' recovery.

Trump had previously praised Wiles after her diagnosis, describing her as an important adviser and saying she would continue working while receiving treatment. He also expressed support for her and praised her strength during the period.

Wiles became the first woman to serve as White House chief of staff when she took the position in January 2025. Before entering the White House, she was a longtime political consultant in Florida and played a major role in Trump's 2024 presidential campaign.

She has remained a prominent figure in the administration, frequently accompanying Trump and overseeing operations from the West Wing.

In her latest update, Wiles expressed gratitude for the support she received throughout her treatment and said she would continue in her role at the White House.
