Jared Kushner says that he battled cancer during his time in the White House.
Breaking History: A White House MemoirKushner's thyroid cancer was discovered in October 2019, and the dad of three was made aware of the news while aboard Air Force One, he reveals in the excerpt.
Upon hearing the doctor's diagnosis, Kushner requested that he not tell anyone"especially my wife or my father-in-law," he recalls in his memoir. While the cancer was caught"early," the surgery required removing a"substantial part of my thyroid," Kushner writes, adding that he was warned that there could be lingering damage to his voice.
"This was a personal problem and not for public consumption," he writes."With the exception of Ivanka, Avi, Cassidy and Mulvaney, I didn’t tell anyone at the White House -- including the president," he wrote, referring to his wife, two of his aides, and Mick Mulvaney, who was the White House chief of staff at the time.
"When I did think about it, I reminded myself that it was in the hands of God and the doctors, and that whatever happened was out of my control," he writes. "At moments, I caught myself wondering whether I would need extensive treatment."
