Arizona Congressman Raúl Grijalva, the dean of Arizona's congressional delegation, made a public announcement on Tuesday regarding his health. The 76-year-old Democrat disclosed that he has been diagnosed with cancer after seeking medical treatment for a persistent cough that was initially thought to be pneumonia.
Grijalva expressed his determination to continue working while undergoing treatment, stating, 'This diagnosis has been difficult to process, but I am confident in the vigorous course of treatment that my medical team has developed, and I’ve begun my journey to fight this cancer.'
