Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-Md.), who was diagnosed with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma last December, had good news during a talk with the Progressive Change Campaign Committee.

“The doctors tell me that the chemotherapy has extinguished the cancer cells, at least as far as they can tell,” he said. “I’m hanging in there and I’m going to make it through.” He also said his last session of chemotherapy is Friday.
