Former US Rep. Mia Love, the first Black woman elected to Congress as a Republican, is facing an increasingly grave prognosis as her condition has worsened while fighting an aggressive form of brain cancer, according to her daughter.
Abigale Love, Mia Love's daughter, shared on her mother's X account that the cancer is no longer responding to treatment and is progressing. Love was diagnosed with glioblastoma brain cancer in 2022, a condition with a challenging prognosis.
In May, Love appeared on 'The Lead with Jake Tapper' to discuss her diagnosis and treatment. She had been undergoing immunotherapy as part of a clinical trial at The Preston Robert Tisch Brain Tumor Center at Duke University. Despite the grim statistics associated with GBM, Love expressed hope and credited her Mormon faith for helping her stay strong.
Love, who served as a US Representative for Utah's 4th Congressional District from 2015-2019, has been an inspirational figure for many. She has shared her cancer journey openly, offering a message of hope to others facing similar challenges.
Utah Governor Spencer Cox expressed support for Love and her family, acknowledging her integrity and strength. Love's resilience and positive outlook have continued to inspire those around her.
As Love navigates this difficult time, her focus is on comfort and being surrounded by loved ones. Her story serves as a reminder of the power of faith, family, and perseverance in the face of adversity.
