Sen. Thom Tillis (R-N.C.), who won his reelection campaign last year, said he was diagnosed with prostate cancer and will undergo surgery, but is expected to fully recover.
“I am blessed that my cancer was detected relatively early, and I can’t emphasize enough how important routine screenings are, regardless of how healthy you think you are,” Tillis said in a March 29 statement. He added that doctors said he’s expected to make a full recovery.
