Andrew Harnik—Getty Images by [Chantelle Lee](https://time.com/author/chantelle-lee/) ## Chantelle Lee Reporter Mar 16, 2026 4:36 PM UTC President Donald Trump announced on Monday that White House Chief of Staff [Susie Wiles](https://time.com/7174721/meet-susie-wiles-the-future-trump-appointed-white-house-chief-of-staff/) has been diagnosed with breast cancer, but that she will continue serving in her role while undergoing treatment. In a [Truth Social post](https://truthsocial.com/@realDonaldTrump/posts/116239674084445278) on Monday morning, the President said that Wiles had been diagnosed with “early stage breast cancer,” adding that she “has decided to take on this challenge, IMMEDIATELY, as opposed to waiting.” He called her “a great person, and one of the strongest people I know.” “She has a fantastic medical team, and her prognosis is excellent!” Trump said. “During the treatment period, she will be spending virtually full time at the White House, which makes me, as President, very happy! Her Strength and her Commitment to continue doing the job she loves, and does so well, while undergoing treatment, tells you everything you need to know about her.” “Susie, as one of my closest and most important advisors, is tough and deeply committed to serving the American People,” he continued. “She will soon be better than ever! Melania and I are with her in every way, and we look forward to working with Susie on the many big and wonderful things that are happening for the benefit of our Country!” Wiles, 68, told the [New York Times](https://www.nytimes.com/2026/03/16/us/politics/susie-wiles-breast-cancer.html?smid=url-share)in a statement that she is planning to start a weeks-long treatment soon, though she didn’t specify the type of treatment she would be undergoing. “Nearly one in eight women in the United States will face this diagnosis,” she told the news outlet. “Every day, these women continue to raise their families, go to work and serve their communities with strength and determination. I now join their ranks.” She told the _Times_ that she is “grateful to have an outstanding team of doctors who detected the cancer early,” and that she is “encouraged by a strong prognosis.” “I am also deeply thankful for the support and encouragement of President Trump as I undergo treatment and continue serving in my current role,” she said. Wiles has been a close advisor to Trump over the past several years, serving as his campaign manager during the 2024 election. After Trump won the presidency for a second time in November 2024, he announced that Wiles would be his White House chief of staff, making her the first woman to hold that role. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/article/2026/03/16/susie-wiles-trump-white-house-chief-of-staff-breast-cancer-diagnosis-treatment/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/article/2026/03/16/susie-wiles-trump-white-house-chief-of-staff-breast-cancer-diagnosis-treatment/"},"headline":"Trump Announces Susie Wiles Will Undergo Treatment for Early-Stage Breast Cancer While Serving as Chief of Staff","datePublished":"2026-03-16T16:36:32.064Z","dateModified":"2026-05-19T07:44:51.166Z","description":"Trump said that Wiles will continue serving as White House Chief of Staff while undergoing treatment.","url":"https://time.com/article/2026/03/16/susie-wiles-trump-white-house-chief-of-staff-breast-cancer-diagnosis-treatment/","keywords":["Trump Administration","News Desk"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt94ff423671e44829/69b82f695ac631d264dd1802/Wiles-Cancer.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Chantelle Lee","jobTitle":"Reporter","url":"https://time.com/author/chantelle-lee/"}],"articleSection":"Politics","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt94ff423671e44829/69b82f695ac631d264dd1802/Wiles-Cancer.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"Wiles-Cancer.jpg","caption":"","creditText":"Andrew Harnik—Getty Images","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/section/politics/","name":"Politics"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"/tag/trump-administration/","name":"Trump Administration"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":3,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/article/2026/03/16/susie-wiles-trump-white-house-chief-of-staff-breast-cancer-diagnosis-treatment/","name":"Trump Announces Susie Wiles Will Undergo Treatment for Early-Stage Breast Cancer While Serving as Chief of Staff"}}]}] ```
