A spokesman for the first lady of the United States, Jill Biden, announced on Wednesday that the first lady of the United States will undergo surgery next week to remove a “small skin lesion” discovered on her face during a routine examination.
This ambulatory surgery will take place on Wednesday, January 11, at Walter Reed Army Hospital, near Washington, states the presidential physician, Kevin O’Connor, in a message released by First Lady spokeswoman Vanessa Valdivia.
During a routine examination for skin cancer, a small lesion was discovered above the first lady’s eye. As a precautionary measure, the doctors recommended that it be withdrawn from him, ”the doctor writes in his letter.
It specifies that tissue removed in this way will be analyzed next.
Jill Biden, 71, is the oldest first lady in US history, while her 80-year-old husband is also the oldest tenant in the history of the White House.
Cancer is a personal cause for Joe Biden, whose son Beau died in 2015 of brain cancer, and who has made lowering the death rate from the disease a “presidential priority.”
