How Steve Scalise's Catholic Faith Got Him Through Cancer & Treatment | EWTN News Nightly

About this sermon

House Majority Leader Steve Scalise, a Catholic, is a 16 year veteran of Capitol Hill and the number 2 Republican in the US House. But he has another story to tell - that of how his faith helped him with a number of life-threatening challenges, most recently a blood cancer diagnosis and treatment. Representative Steve Scalise says, "For so many people watching who said prayers, and offered true genuine support, I can't thank everybody enough, because you feel that, you know, when you're going through things, and thank God. God performed a lot of miracles and answered a lot of prayers, because if you go back to August and I was diagnosed with multiple myeloma, I didn't even know what that was." Scalise says he started chemo the day after he was diagnosed. 4 months later, he was ready for a stem cell transplant, and had to be isolated for 6 weeks. He says, "I had to be isolated at the hospital, had to be away from my job, I have a pretty intense job, I missed being away but I know I had to focus on my health and we zoned in pretty tightly... I'm in remission, you kind of clean your system out, and I have a new immunity system, and its working fine now."
