House Majority Leader Steve Scalise (R-La.) has been diagnosed with multiple myeloma, a treatable blood cancer. After undergoing tests for irregularities in his blood work, Scalise has already begun treatment and intends to return to Washington next month. Multiple myeloma is a cancer of the plasma cells, and treatment options include chemotherapy, radiation, stem cell transplant, and targeted therapy. Scalise’s office has asked for privacy and prayers during this difficult time.
