Outgoing Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard shared an encouraging update Thursday on her husband’s battle with a rare form of bone cancer, revealing that a major surgery to remove the tumor was successful.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Gabbard said her husband, Abraham Williams, recently underwent a nearly seven-hour operation after being diagnosed with sacral chordoma, an extremely rare cancer that forms in the bones of the spine and skull base.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“The surgery to remove bone and surrounding tissue lasted almost seven hours and was successful,” Gabbard wrote in a post on X.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n“He had a rough night and is in a lot of pain, but is finally home resting.”<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
The Trump administration official said the family is now focused on the recovery process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n“Now recovery begins. We’re so grateful for the outpouring of prayers and kind messages from all of you. Our hearts are full,” Gabbard added.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
