After months of battling breast cancer, Florida governor Ron DeSantis revealed that his wife, Casey, is now cancer-free.

According to CBN News, DeSantis shared the joyous news in a short video posted to social media last Thursday.

“For all the women out there going through breast cancer right now, you can overcome this,” the governor shared. “I know it’s very difficult, but my wife is proof positive. If you wound back six or seven months, this is exactly the kind of news that we had hoped for. She still has more to do, but I’m confident she is going to make a full recovery.”

“Thank you for all your thoughts and prayers, and God bless you all,” he concluded.


Casey, who was first diagnosed with breast cancer in October and had her final chemotherapy treatment session in January, expressed her gratitude in a follow-up post on Twitter.

“There are no words to express how truly blessed, grateful, and humbled I am to hear the words cancer-free,” the First Lady of Florida wrote. “To those who are in the fight, know there is hope. Have faith and stay strong.”
The announcement was well-received by local political figures.

“Wonderful news, @FLCaseyDeSantis! Your recovery is a testament to your fighting spirit and faith,” tweeted Florida Lt. Gov. Jeanette Nuñez
