Top Advisor to President Donald Trump, Jared Kushner, battled cancer as he served in the White House, Breaking Celebrity News has learned.
Kushner is also the son-in-law of the former Republic president.
The diagnosis was revealed on Monday in an excerpt from Kushner’s upcoming memoir, according to media reports.
Kushner served as senior advisor to Trump and didn’t tell the president about his diagnosis of thyroid cancer in 2019, he revealed.
"[We] scheduled the operation for the Friday before Thanksgiving," he wrote, according to the New York Times. "That way, I would miss the least amount of time in the office. My absence might even go unnoticed. That’s how I wanted it."
Kushner noted that he only shared his condition with his wife, Ivanka, two White House aides and former Chief of Staff Mick Mulvaney. He added he tried not to think about the tumor.
"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. At moments, I caught myself wondering whether I would need extensive treatment."
