Rep. Ted Poe, R-Texas, announced Tuesday that he has responded positively to cancer treatments over the summer break, and will return to Washington on Wednesday to his job in the House of Representatives.

“Fortunately, just eight weeks into treatment, I am feeling like myself again and am confident that I will beat cancer,” Poe said in a statement. “Incredible progress has been made so far thanks to the Good Lord and the world class team of physicians at M.D. Anderson Cancer Center.”
