Raskin shares health update: 'Chemotherapy has extinguished the cancer cells'
https://thehill.com/homenews/house/3961124-raskin-shares-health-update-chemotherapy-has-extinguished-the-cancer-cells/Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-Md.) has said Friday will be his final treatment of chemotherapy for diffuse large B-cell lymphoma, which he was diagnosed with late last year.
“On Friday is my very last session. The doctors tell me the chemotherapy has extinguished the cancer cells, at least as far as they can tell,” Raskin said Thursday in a virtual event with the Progressive Change Institute.
“It’s almost extinguished me in the process, but I’m hanging in there. I’m gonna make it through,” the congressman said. He quipped that doctors have promised him that “my eyelashes and my eyebrows and my hair will come back one day soon, so fingers crossed there.”
Raskin revealed his cancer diagnosis in December, calling his illness a “serious but curable form of cancer” — a type of non-Hodgkin lymphoma.

He is a good person and a smart & effective Congressman.
Jamie Raskin we need him badly, so glad he was able to beat this. He's too good, and I admire him greatly.
The huge doses of chemo that she had to take gave her MDS (a fancy acronym for leukemia). Good luck Mr. Raskin. 
We are hanging in there. Her doctors for this go-round are rather infuriating. 
Sending healing vibes her way
she was two hours from getting her transplant and they threw up a bunch of "different" hurdles in her path. That was more than two months ago. She has cleared every one of those hurdles and is still waiting.
engaged an a few thoughts and prayers for him when I read the news last year. For Fetterman, too. But in my defense, these are cases where T&P might actually do some good. That's just in my opinion. Your mileage may vary. 
Very happy to hear this!
feel so much relief.
