‘My post-surgery reports came back clean!’: Lt. Gov. Coleman doing well after double mastectomy

FRANKFORT, Ky. (WTVQ) — Lt. Gov. Jacqueline Coleman is doing well after undergoing double mastectomy surgery on Dec. 18, she shared in a statement on Tuesday.

Coleman said her post-surgery reports came back clean.

Here’s her full statement:

“While I am grateful for my amazing health-care heroes, and the relief I feel for having answers, please hear me when I say, if I had put this off, skipped appointments, or not taken it seriously, it is likely the news I’d be sharing eventually wouldn’t be great.

Early detection and prevention were the difference makers for me. And they are for you, too. Go schedule that appointment that’s been in the back of your mind.

Thank you for all the prayers and the well wishes. They have kept me and my family going through a really tough time. I can’t wait to see you all soon.”

Coleman previously said concerns were raised to her during a recent physical exam, and with a “significant” family history of cancer, she decided to have a double mastectomy.
