Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin had Prostatectomy, as First Round Treatment for Prostate Cancer
By Sundance
First things first, I pray for healing and his recovery; I am commanded to do so. That said, what a bunch of fibbers they are. You might remember the initial statements about Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin’s surgery and hospitalization said it was for an “elective procedure.”
The removal of a prostate for cancer treatment is not an “elective procedure.” With no reason to lie about such matters, it simply affirms the bigger question: WHAT ELSE are they lying about?
Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin is being treated for complications due to prostate cancer, an ailment that President Biden only learned about on Tuesday, eight days after the Pentagon chief was rushed to the hospital, officials said.
Under pressure from the administration and members of Congress, including from his own party, the Pentagon on Tuesday first released details on the nature of Austin’s medical condition and procedures.
The Pentagon said that Austin had undergone a prostatectomy procedure to treat prostate cancer on Dec. 22. On Jan. 1, he was readmitted to the hospital following complications stemming from the procedure, including severe abdominal, hip, and leg pain and nausea, the Pentagon said.
He was diagnosed with a urinary tract infection, the Pentagon said. The infection has cleared and “we anticipate a full recovery,” the Pentagon said. National Security Council spokesman John Kirby said that President Biden learned Friday Austin was in the hospital and the two spoke on the phone Saturday—but Biden only learned Tuesday morning about the cancer diagnosis.
“It is not optimal…for a situation like this to go as long as it did without the commander in chief knowing about it or the national security adviser or, frankly, other leaders at the Department of Defense,” he said. “That’s not the way this is supposed to happen.”
January 8th: “Secretary Austin currently remains hospitalized at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center and is in good condition. He is recovering well and in good spirits. He is no longer in the Intensive Care Unit and is recovering in a more private area of the hospital. He continues to experience discomfort, but his prognosis is good.” - Via The Pentagon
