Lee Zeldin in 'complete remission' following leukemia treatment
Fox News
Rep. Lee. Zeldin, R-N.Y., announced he is in “complete remission” after receiving treatment from being diagnosed with chronic myeloid leukemia.
"At no point have I slowed down at all and my lowest gear is always ALL IN," Zeldin added. "I have and will continue to execute all my duties in Congress and represent my constituents in NY-1 at the highest level. I have also not missed any Army Reserve Duty as a result of this diagnosis."
According to Zeldin’s Hematologist Jeffrey Vacirca, MD, FACP of New York Cancer & Blood Specialists, the congressman "began targeted therapy, to which he immediately responded extraordinarily well and has achieved complete remission." Vacirca also noted that Zeldin is "incredibly healthy" and "is expected to enjoy a normal life and has no evidence of disease."
