Rep. Raul Grijalva (D-AZ) has been diagnosed with cancer, the Arizona Democrat announced in a statement on Tuesday.
The diagnosis comes after Grijalva, who has been a member of Congress since 2003, sought medical treatment for a “persistent cough” that was thought to be pneumonia. However, after further testing, it was discovered that the Democratic lawmaker had cancer, he said in a statement.
“This diagnosis has been difficult to process, but I am confident in the vigorous course of treatment that my medical team has developed,” Grijalva said.
Grijalva is 76. His full statement reads:
“A few weeks ago, I sought medical treatment for a persistent cough which was initially diagnosed as pneumonia. After further testing and imaging, my physician discovered that I have cancer.”
“This diagnosis has been difficult to process, but I am confident in the vigorous course of treatment that my medical team has developed, and I’ve begun my journey to fight this cancer.”
“My congressional office remains open and the many services we provide for our constituents continue uninterrupted. I am in regular communication with my staff and I continue to work as I undergo treatment. It is a privilege to serve as a Representative for the people of Arizona and I take this responsibility very seriously.”
“I am grateful to my family, friends and doctors for their support, and I am working hard to get healthy and return to business as usual as soon as I am able. I appreciate your consideration, well wishes and respect for my family’s privacy during this time. My heart goes out to others struggling with cancer, and I wish everyone strength in their fight.”
