‘Our health is not something we can ever take for granted, and this is another reminder that each day is a gift,’ Ms. Klobuchar said.
Sen. Amy Klobuchar (D-Minn.) announced on Friday that she is cancer-free.
During the visit, a “small white spot called a calcification was found,” she said. It was removed, and Ms. Klobuchar said she would have a few days of radiation this month “as a precaution.”
“My doctor says I am now cancer-free,” she wrote.
The lawmaker attributed the successful outcome to early detection and regular follow-up appointments. She urged people to “get their routine screenings, exams, and follow-ups.”
“Our health is not something we can ever take for granted, and this is another reminder that each day is a gift.”
Senators on both sides of the aisle celebrated Ms. Klobuchar’s announcement.
Ms. Klobuchar has served in the Senate since 2007 and is running for reelection to a fourth term. She previously was the top prosecutor of Hennepin County, in which Minneapolis sits, and in 2020 unsuccessfully ran for president.
