Mia Love's Cancer Progresses, Family Shifts Focus to Memories

Mia Love, the first Black woman elected to Congress as a Republican, is facing a grim prognosis as her glioblastoma brain cancer has stopped responding to treatment, according to her daughter, Abigale. The family has decided to shift their focus from treatment to cherishing their remaining time together, with Abigale asking the public to share memories of her mother. Love, who served Utah’s 4th Congressional District from 2015 to 2019, became known for her stance on various issues, including immigration reform and her opposition to former President Trump's policies. Her diagnosis was first made public in 2022, and she had been undergoing immunotherapy as part of a clinical trial. Support from friends and colleagues, including CNN anchor Jake Tapper, has poured in as they express their sorrow and prayers for Love and her family. The prognosis for glioblastoma is generally poor, with most patients having a limited survival rate.
