Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-MD) announced he has been diagnosed with lymphoma and will soon start chemo-immunotherapy.
The 60-year-old congressman, a former constitutional law professor who became a star in the Democratic Party leading the second impeachment effort against former President Donald Trump and working as a member of the January 6 Committee, released a statement about his health on Wednesday, stressing that he expects to keep working even as he receives intensive treatment.
“After several days of tests, I have been diagnosed with Diffuse Large B Cell Lymphoma, which is a serious but curable form of cancer,” Raskin said. “I am about to embark on a course of chemo-immunotherapy on an outpatient basis at Med Star Georgetown University Hospital and Lombardi Comprehensive Cancer Center. Prognosis for most people in my situation is excellent after four months of treatment.”
