Very unfortunate news. It sounds like his cancer is a terminal condition. Godspeed to Tulsi and Abraham.

She's a veteran and a courageous and outspoken opponent of all things Hillary. She was, and probably still is, an honest Democrat who loves her country. They still exist, although far fewer then there once was. I wish her and her husband the very best in this worst of times for them.

My grandmother had bone cancer in the 80's. I would not wish that disease on anyone, because no one deserves to die slowly in that much pain. Death, when it finally came, was a blessing. It was so bad, that I can support physician assisted suicide in cases like this.
My sympathies go out to the Gabbard family and I pray for mercy.

She will be missed greatly.
Two questions come to mind.
Has the Intel Community developed a way to cause bone cancer, or is this more of Dr.Fauci's mRNA shot side effects?

So sorry to hear such unfortunate news. Tulsi was absolutely fearless in her position and she'll be missed. However her husband certainly has a strong, loving wife who he will need as his illness progresses. I'll pray for them both.

Lord, heal her husband and give comfort to the family.
Is there anyone who has her courage that President Trump can install that is willing to do the job Tulsi was so dedicated to achieving?

The best DNI Director we have ever had. The only honest Democrat anywhere. It is a big loss to lose her, but she will be back in some position some day.

Since Trump brought her into his administration, one of his best high-level staffing moves, she has always seemed to me to be the proverbial adult in the room. Perhaps an unusual form of praise but she strikes me as the one in this administration who would take a bullet for Trump and worry about her personal consequences later, if she survived.

I lost a good friend last year to bone cancer. The only good thing about it was that it moved fast so he died less than a year later. There’s not much that can be done with bone cancer, and this sounds like a nasty one. Sad news all around. Tulsi was doing a great job, and I’m sorry for their troubles.
Godspeed, Ms. Gabbard.

Get well soon, Mr Gabbard. I hope his treatment is 100% effective. And not more of an ordeal than he can tolerate.

The type of cancer cause by a polonium pellet? At this point would not put it past the CIA and others.

Not to deflect from Tulsi's husband's unfortunate bone cancer diagnosis, but what about Joe Biden's bone cancer? How is that going?

I sorry the her husband is in dire straits with cancer. I’m also sorry that she has to leave the DNI because I believe she has been doing an outstanding job in that position. When democrats are pinging on someone you know they are over the target. I sure hope Trump finds an equally aggressive leader.

Sorry for your loss, #23.
But realize that your temporary loss is your husband's,gain, being with God, and you will join him and Him some day.
As for Tulsi, I expect great things from her in the future. She is a political star, regardless of her political label - the kind of leader the founding fathers envisioned.

She is honest.
She saw the Dems for what they were and left them.
She put family over political career.
God knows her and will help her family.
Prayers.
