Tulsi Gabbard shares update on husband's recovery from rare bone cancer surgery
Former DNI Tulsi Gabbard posted a video on August 20, 2026 updating the public on her husband Abraham Williams's recovery from surgery for sacral chordoma, a rare bone cancer. Williams's doctors expressed confidence they removed all cancerous tissue, though Gabbard noted ongoing MRI monitoring is needed. Gabbard resigned as DNI in May 2026 to support her husband through treatment.
