House Majority Leader Steve Scalise, R-La., said he's been diagnosed with a "very treatable blood cancer" for which he has begun treatment.

Scalise said he had blood work done after "a few days of not feeling like myself this past week."

"The results uncovered some irregularities and after undergoing additional tests, I was diagnosed with Multiple Myeloma, a very treatable blood cancer," he said on X, the former Twitter. "I have now begun treatment, which will continue for the next several months."

Scalise said he expects to return to Washington to continue work as majority leader while he undergoes treatment.
