https://www.yahoo.com/news/politics/articles/pam-bondi-recovering-cancer-diagnosis-100703515.htmlFormer attorney general Pam Bondi was diagnosed with thyroid cancer shortly after she was removed from her post by President Donald Trump, according to a new report, as the former cabinet official prepares for a return to the administration in a White House AI advisory role.
Bondi underwent treatment and is now recovering, Axios reported late Tuesday, citing a source familiar with the matter. The diagnosis came weeks after Trump abruptly ousted her from the Justice Department.
The revelation was confirmed by Katie Miller, former White House communications aide and podcaster wife of White House deputy chief of staff Stephen Miller, in an X post.
Pam has been quietly kicking cancers ass the last few weeks, Miller wrote. @PamBondi has a heart of gold.

The 10-year-old girl was diagnosed with brain cancer last year and underwent surgery to remove the tumor. Doctors practically gave me no hope of life for her, but thank God shes a miracle, the mother said.
The swelling on the girls brain is still not fully gone, the mother said, causing difficulties with speech and mobility of the right side of her body.
