Former congresswoman Mia Love was diagnosed with glioblastoma, a type of brain cancer, in 2022, and she has been battling the disease ever since. Sadly, her daughter, Abigale, took to X on Saturday and announced that treatment is no longer working, the cancer is progressing, and her family is switching gears to enjoying what little time they have left with their mom and wife. She also asked for people share their photos, videos, and other memories of her mom via an email address: MiaLoveMemories@gmail.com.
"About a year and a half ago, I went on vacation with my family. As soon as we landed, I felt a headache come on. When we went to the beach, the reflection of the sun on the water made the headache worse. My husband took me to the hospital," Love said while speaking at a conference in 2023.
Doctors took X-rays and discovered a brain tumor. Upon returning to Utah, she was able to have 95% of it removed. While Love and her family and medical team hoped it was benign, biopsy results came back positive for cancer. She had a "Grade 4, fast-growing tumor." Doctors gave her 10 to 15 months to live.
"I would believe the diagnosis, but I would not believe the prognosis," she said, adding, "I had babies! And I could not leave my husband. His mother had died from a brain tumor."

She lost favor with many Republicans in 2016 when she didn't support Donald Trump for president, and in 2019, she was voted out of office. However, in 2024, in one of her last posts on X, she announced that she was proudly supporting the Trump/JD Vance ticket.

To a beautiful family, rest in peace, Mia.

Rest in peace, Mia.
