Former Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice posted a statement from Hoover Institution Senior Fellow Victor Davis Hanson on Sunday revealing Hanson had a cancerous tumor removed after an operation.
Hanson told the audience of his podcast, “Victor Davis Hanson: In His Own Words,” on Dec. 26 that he would be having an operation to address a “serious” medical condition that doctors could not at the time diagnose. Rice posted a statement from Hanson on X in which he said he was “hopeful” after the procedure.
“Please find an update from my dear friend and colleague, Hoover Institution Senior Fellow Victor Davis Hanson. He remains in our prayers,” Rice posted.
“I wanted to share a brief health update. I recently underwent surgery to remove a cancerous tumor and am now recovering. I’m doing well and hopeful as I move forward,” Hanson said in the statement. “Thank you for the many messages of support and prayers—they truly mean more than I can say. As I focus on recovery, I may not be able to respond to everyone, but please know how grateful I am.”

VDH is truly one of the good guys. He is a great conservative, an inspiring teacher, and a courageous historian. I pray for his complete recovery. We continue to need his wisdom.
God bless Victor!
You’re right. We can’t afford to lose VDH at this pivotal point in our nation’s history.
Anyone know what kind of cancet?
Hanson had a cancerous tumor removed after an operation. They should have done it during the operation.
LOL! Very true! :-)
Please Lord, lead and guide every aspect of recovery for this valuable man who tells the truth. Yet not our will but Yours be done. In Jesus’ name we pray, Amen.
May God, in His infinite mercy, grant Victor Davis Hanson a quick and complete recovery from his cancer and any associated health problems that occur because of his cancer treatment. He is a truly good man, who has publicly done nothing but try to tell the truth and therefore improve this country.
Amen.
Amen.
Good luck to VDH. We need all the morality-based commentators. Same for Mr. Praeger.

One of the very best public figures I know. A very honorable man worthy of great trust and respect.
My very best hopes and most fervent prayers are for his recovery.
Thank you for posting this.
VDH is a great man.
AMEN
Prayers up for VDH and Scott Adams.
I read prostate cancer somewhere but can’t verify that as a fact.
Prayers up! A little or a lot of 21st Century medicine could help too!
Stay strong VDH!
