Sanders released after cancer surgery
Former White House press secretary Sarah Sanders, a Republican who is running for governor in Arkansas, was released from a hospital Saturday after undergoing surgery for thyroid cancer.
“Following successful surgery on Friday to remove her thyroid and surrounding lymph nodes and in consultation with her physician, Sarah was discharged from an Arkansas hospital — cancer free,” said Sanders spokesperson Judd Deere. “She will spend the remaining portion of her recovery at home.”
Deere said Sanders, 40, plans to resume campaigning “soon,” but it was not known precisely when she would return.
