A White House official stated that Jill Biden’s cancer screening took place at the end of the previous year. According to the President Joe Biden’s physician, the 71-year-old Jill Biden’s lesion should be removed and examined “in an abundance of caution.”
The White House announced on Wednesday that Jill Biden will have a medical procedure next week to remove a small lesion from above her right eye that was discovered during a routine skin cancer screening.
According to a White House memo, the first lady will undergo the lesion’s removal on Wednesday, January 11, at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center in Bethesda, Maryland, as part of a “common outpatient procedure.”
According to a White House official who spoke on condition of anonymity because they were disclosing confidential medical information, Jill Biden’s cancer screening took place late last year.
According to O’Connor, medical professionals advised that the 71-year-old Jill Biden have the lesion removed and examined “in an abundance of caution.” He stated that an update would follow.
After spending the New Year’s holiday on St. Croix in the US Virgin Islands, the president and first lady made their way back to the White House on Monday.
She underwent what the White House described as a typical medical procedure in April 2021. After about two hours, the president and his wife returned to the White House after visiting an outpatient facility close to George Washington University.
The White House did not provide any specifics regarding that procedure.
