LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (AP) — Former White House press secretary Sarah Sanders, who is running for governor in Arkansas, underwent surgery Friday for thyroid cancer.
Sanders announced she underwent the surgery after a biopsy earlier this month revealed that she had thyroid cancer.
“Today, I underwent a successful surgery to remove my thyroid and surrounding lymph nodes and by the grace of God I am now cancer-free,” Sanders said in a statement released by her campaign. “I want to thank the Arkansas doctors and nurses for their world-class care, as well as my family and friends for their love, prayers, and support.”
Sanders, 40, said she looked forward to returning to the campaign trail soon. Sanders’ last public event was at the Arkansas Razorbacks football game on Saturday.
Sanders, who served as former President Donald Trump’s spokeswoman until 2019, is running against Democratic nominee Chris Jones. She is the daughter of former Gov. Mike Huckabee.
Sanders, who has shattered fundraising records in the race, is heavily favored in the predominantly Republican state of Arkansas. The state’s current Republican governor, Asa Hutchinson, is leaving office in January due to term limits.
A doctor for Sanders said in a statement that he expected her to be back on her feet within the next 24 hours. Dr. John R. Sims, a surgeon at CARTI Cancer Center in Little Rock, said Sanders will need adjuvant treatment with radioactive iodine and continued long follow up care.

Prayers up for a gutsy lady.
May God protect her and guide her doctors to help Him heal her.
And may God bless her parents in this difficult time.
My daughter underwent thyroid cancer surgery two years ago. She just had a follow-up biopsy and is doing fine.
I wish Sarah a speedy recovery and all the luck in beating her cancer.
Prayers for a rapid recovery...Go, Sarah, go
Are you aware that with proper spacing, your name is “did a ho”?
That made me laugh...
If you have to have a cancer, thyroid cancer is probably one of the preferable ones if you get to choose. It’s highly treatable. (I know, nobody gets to choose…)
Know 6 otherwise healthy people, got sudden Cancer scares.
All got The Shot and the Boosters.
Any link?

There is something *wrong* with (I suspect) the water of the White House area. It nailed both H.W. and Barbara Bush with thyroid problems, and I suspect many more.
The biggest suspect is Nitrate in the water.

Wishing her the best. I always liked her, a classy person.
Unless it’s the “other thyroid cancer”, which isn’t successfully treatable.
Anyone who thinks that simply removing g lymph nodes makes you “cancer free” doesn’t really understand how this works.
I do t wish cancer on anyone. And I like Sarah and wish her well. But this is the kind of crap politicians say during a campaign.
Prayers for Sarah!
My daughter had the same on her 19th birthday. Been 4 years and 1 wedding since :o)
Oh she will beat the cancer, it doesn’t stand a chance against ourSarah
Thyroid Cancer is one of the most treatable cancers if caught early. Most people find it by accident, for instance, Tarek from Flip Or Flip, someone was watching an episode of one of his shows and noticed a lump in his neck, sent him an email and he got it checked out, it was thyroid cancer, he is now cured. I am so grateful that Sarah found it as early as she did, prayers for her speedy recovery absolutely LOVE Sarah Huckabee Sanders she is one amazing lady!
Pres Trump’s son in law had thyroid cancer.
God be with her.
