These Politicians Have Battled Through Chronic Health Issues - Page 11 of 32

John Kerry

In 2003, Democratic Senator John Kerry was diagnosed with prostate cancer. He underwent a rigorous operation to remove the cancer, and in a show of grit and determination, recovered from his surgery and cancer-scare to continue his Presidential campaign – going on to win the Democratic nomination and only narrowly losing the Presidency. He’s served as the U.S. Secretary of State since 2013.
