Mazie Hirono
POTUS called her crazy at the rally the other night.
Anyone find it odd that she survives stage 4 kidney cancer
and just keeps on going like nothing happened?
—Hirono said she continues to undergo long-term immunotherapy treatment for cancer in her thyroid gland. The senator disclosed last year that she had been diagnosed with kidney cancer and had surgery to remove a kidney and part of her rib.
“I’ve been very open about my health challenge because I think it’s really important to let my constituents know that in spite of the fact that I am still in treatment, nothing about this treatment prevents me from doing my job,” she said. “I’m optimistic and certainly that optimism is shared by my doctors.”
Hirono said her voice in Congress “remains strong” and she’s up for the rigor of campaigning for re-election.
“If anything, I am even more vocal and visible than ever because this administration gives me a lot of opportunities to be vocal,” she said. “Every single day there’s some new thing that makes my head explode.”
No other candidates have announced that they are running for Hirono’s seat.
