House Majority Leader Steve Scalise said he has multiple myeloma.
It's a rare blood cancer that can be treated for years but currently is not curable.
The results uncovered some irregularities and after undergoing additional tests, I was diagnosed with Multiple Myeloma, a very treatable blood cancer," Scalise said in the statement.
