Sarah Huckabee Sanders revealed Friday that she had been diagnosed with thyroid cancer but that surgery to remove it had been successful.

Doctors were able to spot the cancer after a check-up and a biopsy on “an area of concern” in her neck earlier this month, she said on social media.

“Today, I underwent a successful surgery to remove my thyroid and surrounding lymph nodes and by the grace of God I am now cancer-free,” she wrote, going on to thank her medical providers.

[Mr.Bill]

1. I don't believe I've ever heard of having

surgery for that type of cancer where the doctors you "cancer free" right after the surgery.

[Rebl2]

7. If it

hasn’t spread into lymph node’s, then likely cancer free. My BIL had it. Have to take thyroid medication the rest of your life. Getting it at the right level can take time or at least it was true for my BIL.

[NNadir]

36. Many people have thyroid cancer for years, even decades, without being diagnosed.

It's not an aggressive cancer, does not result in metastasis with anywhere near the frequency of other cancers.

It is a fairly curable cancer, except in unusual cases.

[paleotn]

66. I wish medical professionals would stop using that termonology....

There is no practical way to determine if anyone is ever "cancer free". A low probability of recurrence. The odds of recurrence are heavily in their favor. Take your pick. Neither of which means "cancer free."

[ShazzieB]

76. Or maybe they could say "no detectable signs of cancer."

Of course, we don't actually know what words her doctors used, do we? That could just be her way of translating the situation into layman's terms.

[paleotn]

77. Agreed.

[Kali]

74. I have

because I had the same diagnosis and a really good surgeon, didn't even need the standard radioactive iodine treatment.

FYI this was no big deal, at least for me.

[fierywoman]

2. As a child I had a goiter removed from my thyroid gland -- but to remove the entire gland?

Isn't that rather serious?

[carpetbagger]

13. It's standard treatment

She's young, so this type of cancer is pretty wimpy and she has less than a one percent chance from dying from it in the next 20 years, even if it did spread to the lymph nodes but not to remote parts of the body. But, that's standard treatment, both to prevent problems with multicentric cancers, as well as the fact that they're just going to radiate and destroy the rest of her thyroid to get all the cancer.

[fierywoman]

14. Thanks for the info.

[iluvtennis]

18. In my early 20s, my thyroid gland went into an overactive state and I ended up with hyperthyroidism.

Doctors decommissioned the thyroid gland with radioactive iodine (..this was early 1980s..).

I've been on daily synthroid medication (man-made thyroid hormone) for over 40 years now.

So, not very serious to decommission the thyroid gland.

[Warpy]

29. Yes, remove the whole gland

and replace the hormones after the surgery.

I don't wish cancer on anyone, not even a sourpuss liar for Jebus like her, but this is one of the curable ones.

[Orrex]

3. That'll happen when you pass so much toxic bullshit through that area

I hope that the serial liar with no integrity or moral compass makes some sort of recovery.

[yankee87]

4. Should I really feel sorry?

I'm conflicted here. I'm sure I'm supposed to feel sorry for her, but I really cannot. She wants to take my children's very humanity. Yes, they are part of the LGBTQI community. Maybe, I'll have to answer when I go before Saint Peter, but I'll take that risk.


Vote!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[COL Mustard]

12. I'm generally not inclined

To think ill of people. There are exceptions, though. That's all I will say about her and her former boss.

[elleng]

24. No, and it's not a bfd anyway; read personal stories above.

[LenaBaby61]

68. Should I really feel sorry?

I don't wish illness on her, but I sure as hell don't feel sorry for her one bit.

She would love for a woman to DIE from an ectopic pregnancy, and for a little girl to be forced to carry her Father's baby i he raped and impregnated her because she's an evil, rotten, pathologically lying racist asshole and so is her father. Too bad that pig will be governor of Arkansas.

[PortTack]

73. Thx for saying what I wanted to say too!

[sakabatou]

75. Same.

I can't feel sorry for her.

[dalton99a]

5. God says, "Keep lying and prosper"

[Orrex]

6. One can't help supposing that the tumor is glad to be rid of her

[NNadir]

37. We have a winner!

[ZZenith]

58. Shazam!

[Jarqui]

62. +1 (of many)

My mother frequently said:
"if you don't have something nice to say, don't say it"
But she didn't always follow her own advice, so I won't either

As many know, WaPo counted 30,573 lies or misleading statements during his 4 years at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave.
https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2021/01/24/trumps-false-or-misleading-claims-total-30573-over-four-years/
Sarah delivered a lot of them.

When someone like that can be the leading candidate for Governor of their state, there is something terribly wrong. Maybe the tumor has more brains than we give it credit for.

[hadEnuf]

81. I think most wish her well and a speedy recovery from her illness.

We do not mock people who are sick and have disabilities, unlike she did about Biden's stuttering disability. And lets not forget her former filthy boss making fun of a reporter with a disability.

https://www.cbsnews.com/news/joe-biden-stutter-comment-sarah-huckabee-sanders-apologizes-vice-president-after-mocking-stuttering-debate-answer/

[LenaBaby61]

69. REALLY THIS 👆🏻👆🏻👆🏻👆🏻

[dchill]

85. The tumor is saying that it's Sarah-free. We'll see.

[AZ8theist]

59. After claiming that....

I'm surprised they didn't find any brain cancer.

[COL Mustard]

79. Her brain already rotted

[BumRushDaShow]

8. So is the "media" working her over for her health given she is running for Governor of AR

like they have raked John Fetterman through the coals while running for Senator here in PA?

He has tried over and over to point out that people can and do experience various levels of health issues, yet when it comes to Democrats, the world is coming to an end, but not so for Republicans.

[Orrex]

19. For Republicans, "battling through their diagnosis" is praised as a sign of strength and will

For Democrats, "suffering from an illness" is proof of weakness and frailty.

[Marcuse]

50. True.

[gopiscrap]

9. damn, I was praying for the worst outcome

[Orrex]

20. Well, she survived, so maybe your prayer was answered?

[FoxNewsSucks]

45. If I prayed, that would not have been the answer to it.

[Orrex]

46. I dunno, seems like a pretty worst outcome to me...

[Grokenstein]

33. (self-appointed civility mavens gasp in unison)

[CJW]

10. Sanders Reveals Cancer Diagnosis

As a cancer survivor myself, I wish her the best of luck.

It's a terribly frightening experience.

[ificandream]

15. It is indeed. I'm happy for her.

[DashOneBravo]

84. +1

[msongs]

11. gee did dhe thank god when it gave her cancer in the first place? nt

[dalton99a]

17. It was Satan that did that. Cancer comes from Satan. Cancer cure comes from God

or a sufficient bank account

[CharleyDog]

16. I always hope when ppl like her who vow to take away healthcare

I wish for her to experience extreme worries over money and paying for life-saving healthcare. I wish she could find out for herself how desperate and frightening.

[dalton99a]

53. +1. "If they're poor, let them die"

[CharleyDog]

55. this exactly.

[area51]

71. Yes.

She's lucky she can afford American healthcare. As usual, she's too stupid to see if she'd endorse universal healthcare it would be cheaper.

[al bupp]

21. She thanked God, but how about thanking science?

Somehow, I think her remission, if that proves to be the case, will have been due to the hard work of scientists, doctors, nurses, laboratory technicians and other staff that made her treatment possible.

[barbtries]

22. two things.

1. she is a cancer.
2. how about some credit for the medical help you got, you pious hypocrite.

[MontanaMama]

31. Thank you.

You said it perfectly.

[Faux pas]

23. I

Don't care, do you?

[Traildogbob]

26. I care as

Much for her diagnosis as she cared for Bo Biden’s death from it.

[dalton99a]

28. +1. And she mocked Biden for stuttering

[Traildogbob]

34. Yea.......I hate her.

[Orrex]

25. That cancer was alive and growing inside her, and she killed it

[niyad]

27. May she receive everything she deserves.

[BlueIdaho]

30. Cancer is a horrible disease

Sarah Huckabee Sanders is a horrible person. Cancer didn’t change that.

[LudwigPastorius]

35. Thyroid disease explains her bulging eye.

I just thought it had some integrity and was trying desperately to get out of her skull.

[orleans]

38. most everyone on this thread is being so nice, sending well wishes and that's so sweet

so i would like to be the bitch who breaks that magic spell

my initial thought was: meh. who cares? fuck her.

then i thought: i bets her daddy prayed reals hard for her

then i thought: fuck them both--assholes

[Orrex]

40. Look, if you don't have anything nice to say

come and sit here by me.

(for the record, I'd have bet money that that was a Dorothy Parker quote, but apparently it was Alice Roosevelt Longworth.)

[BigmanPigman]

43. Yes, I was just reading up on Alice again a few days

ago. She was a nightmare. Only the good die young...she was 96.

[FoxNewsSucks]

47. You're not alone in that

Fuck that hypocrite, and her fake father.

[LeftInTX]

56. I won't say what I'm thinking

However the reality: Life pretty much be the same, except she is at the mercy of synthroid for the rest of her life.

[Coventina]

39. Oh good, all the MAGAts will believe God or Trump healed her.

[BigmanPigman]

41. If there had been a heart problem

the remedy would've been different since you can't remove something that doesn't exist.

[ZonkerHarris]

42. "by the grace of god im cancer free" nope it was doctors & medical science. God wanted you dead.

[murielm99]

44. I don't wish cancer on anyone.

It is truly horrible.

I am glad she is cancer free.

[LenaBaby61]

70. She's cancer free, so she can win the governorship of Arkansas ...

And make sure children in schools are shot up with sub machine guns, and so women will DIE from ectopic pregnancies, and so little girls 10 years old can be forced to have her Daddy's baby if he raped and impregnated her.

Geez, she gets to do a LOT of killing of others there in Arkansas as Governor right after she's been "cured" of cancer.

Make it make sense

[BigmanPigman]

48. Man, I LOVE DU.

These are some of the best replies I have seen all day. DU has intelligence and humor and we aren't hypocrites like Sarah Fuckabee.

[sinkingfeeling]

49. I may dislike her intensely, but as a survivor of throat cancer I know

how rough radiation of that area is. I'm 14 years from last dose and the skin on my neck still peels off. You can lose all your taste buds and salivary glands. Dry mouth can even be painful.

[Tree Lady]

72. Yep my husband going through that

It's been 24 yrs for him and he is having swallowing issues and getting tests done now.

He is getting teeth problems to as it affected his gums. Few years back had to go to hyperbaric chamber to be able to have tooth pulled.

[TeamProg]

51. Why did God give her cancer? nt

[dalton99a]

57. Satan did that. God only does good things

[Blue Owl]

52. The real cancer is her political party

Let’s remove it!

[gopiscrap]

54. fuck her, hope she croaks

the piece of shit ain't worth wasting time on

[cstanleytech]

60. I offer her the same heartfelt thoughts and prayers I am sure she offered to Ruth Bader Ginsburg.

[Akakoji]

61. This is a false flag event

Go to the tweet above and see what people are talking about. It’s so repulsive. Nothing to do with Huckabee.

[PJMcK]

63. My opinion

Sarah can fuck off.

She'll get no sympathy from me because of her contributions to the shitshow we are now living through.

Besides,she's as much of a liar as Trump so I don't believe anything she says

[twodogsbarking]

64. I don't like her but I don't like cancer more. Nobody deserves cancer.

[toesonthenose]

78. I agree 100%. Sickening to see some of the responses here regarding this.

She is a piece of crap and I can't stand her, her father, and everyone like them. They are a pox on our nation. That being said, cancer is the one thing that I would never wish upon them, or anyone. Have lost so many loved ones to cancer. Just a horrible, horrible disease and can't ever push myself to make light of it or be sarcastic. Fuck cancer!

[867-5309.]

65. I wish folks who opposed universal care were the ones without it

What would her outcome be if she didn't have access to health care?

[Slammer]

67. make a wish

I wish her all the health and happiness she deserves....

[Erik the UNred]

80. "Medical providers" most Americans cannot afford

Why didn't she just rely on Jesus to heal her?

[oldsoftie]

82. I HATE cancer. Glad she caught it. And I hope she loses her election badly.

[paparush]

83. Gee, that's too bad. Say, how about those Cardinals!
