白宫幕僚长苏西·怀尔斯（Susie Wiles）近日敞开心扉，讲述了在担任华盛顿最严苛职位之一的同时，与乳腺癌抗争的艰辛现实。她透露，有些日子光是起床去上班，就耗尽了她所有的力气。
White House chief of staff Susie Wiles is opening up about the grueling reality of fighting breast cancer while holding one of Washington's most demanding jobs, revealing that some days simply getting out of bed and going to work took all the strength she had.
在周日发表于《今日美国》（USA Today）的一篇专栏文章中，怀尔斯描述了自己在继续领导唐纳德·特朗普总统的白宫幕僚团队期间接受化疗的经历。
In an op-ed published Sunday in USA Today, Wiles described what it was like to undergo chemotherapy while continuing to lead the White House staff for President Donald Trump.
她写道，从醒来的那一刻起，甚至有时在睡眠中，疾病都占据着她的思绪。
The disease occupied her thoughts from the moment she woke up and sometimes even while she slept, she wrote.
“与癌症抗争是残酷且永无止境的，”怀尔斯写道。关于治疗方案、检测结果以及未来可能发生的事情的疑问，甚至能压垮一个意志坚强的人。她承认，有时这些疑问确实压垮了她。
"Fighting cancer is brutal and unrelenting," Wiles wrote. Questions about treatment, test results and what might come next could overtake even a strong mind. At times, she acknowledged, they overtook hers.
科学家称，癌症相关的“脑雾”症状可通过两种简单疗法得到改善。怀尔斯表示，有些日子，她将全部精力投入到与疾病的斗争中；而在另一些日子，起床、穿衣和去上班本身就是一场考验。“大多数时候，我同时承受着这两方面的重压，”她写道。
CANCER-RELATED BRAIN FOG MAY IMPROVE WITH 2 SIMPLE TREATMENTS, SCIENTISTS SAY Some days, Wiles said, she poured her strength into fighting the disease. On others, getting out of bed, getting dressed and going to work was its own test. "Most days, I carried the full weight of both," she wrote.
工作给了她超越预约、扫描和副作用之外的目标。“癌症会让你的世界变得非常狭小，”怀尔斯写道。她说，尽管她知道别人可能会质疑她是否还能有效领导，但她仍强迫自己专注于那些依赖她的人。
Work gave her a purpose beyond appointments, scans and side effects. "Cancer can make your world very small," Wiles wrote. She said she pushed herself to stay focused on the people who depended on her, even as she knew others might question whether she could still lead effectively.
凯·特朗普（Kai Trump）透露，在母亲凡妮莎（Vanessa）与乳腺癌抗争期间，家人如何团结在她身边：“这是一段漫长的旅程。” 治疗确实对她的体力、行动力以及有时对专注力造成了影响。怀尔斯表示，她无法总是出现在她想去的地方。白宫内外同事的协助，以及她的两个女儿、大家庭成员、朋友和医疗团队的帮助，支撑她度过了这段患病时期。
KAI TRUMP REVEALS HOW FAMILY RALLIED AROUND MOM VANESSA AMID BREAST CANCER BATTLE: ‘IT’S A LONG JOURNEY’ The treatment did take a toll on her stamina, mobility and, at times, her focus. Wiles said she could not always be everywhere she wanted to be. Colleagues inside and outside the White House stepped in, while her two daughters, extended family, friends and medical team helped carry her through the illness. Wiles made clear that working through treatment would not be right or possible for everyone. For her, she wrote, the job helped her hold on to a sense of who she was beyond the disease.
怀尔斯明确指出，在治疗期间坚持工作并不适合所有人，也并非所有人都能做到。她写道，对她而言，这份工作帮助她保留了超越疾病之外的自我认同感。
CANCER SURVIVORS MAY SEE SURPRISING BENEFITS FROM ONE SPECIFIC EXERCISE, STUDY SAYS After successful surgery, pathology showed no residual cancer, Wiles wrote. She said she now faces the work of rebuilding what treatment took from her.
癌症幸存者可能从一种特定运动中获得意想不到的益处，研究称 手术成功后，病理检查显示无残留癌细胞，怀尔斯写道。她说，现在她面临着重建治疗夺走的一切的任务。“化疗，用一个词形容，就是个婊子养的，”她写道。
"Chemotherapy is, in a word, a b----," she wrote.

多莉·帕顿的私密抗癌历程凸显为何部分患者不愿公开确诊 周日，怀尔斯在X平台发文称，她很少写关于自己的事，但想分享在继续从事热爱的工作的同时与癌症抗争的经历。
"Cancer tried to make my world smaller. I was determined not to let it," she wrote, adding that she hoped her account could offer strength to someone still fighting the disease.
“癌症试图让我的世界变小。我下定决心不让它得逞，”她写道，并补充说希望她的讲述能给仍在与疾病抗争的人带来力量。

特朗普在治疗期间赞扬了怀尔斯，在5月的一段预录致敬视频中表示她正在赢得抗癌战斗。怀尔斯感谢他的善良与同情，并将度过难关归功于家人、朋友、同事和医生的帮助。
Trump praised Wiles during her treatment, saying in a prerecorded May tribute that she was winning her cancer battle. Wiles thanked him for his kindness and compassion, and credited her family, friends, colleagues and doctors with helping her through the ordeal.
对于正在接受治疗的其他人，怀尔斯传递了一份希望的信息。“癌症不必夺走你是谁，”她写道。她说，对她而言，病后的生活包括为特朗普和国家服务，以及做一名母亲、祖母和朋友。
For others going through treatment, Wiles offered a message of hope. "Cancer does not have to take away who you are," she wrote. She said that for her, life beyond the disease includes serving Trump and the country and being a mother, grandmother and friend.
她的女儿之一凯蒂·怀尔斯在X平台回复了母亲的讲述。“坚强的女人不靠大声彰显力量；她们稳重且不可动摇，”她写道。“你是我们的冠军。为你感到无比自豪，妈妈。”
