Former President Joe Biden reportedly underwent surgery to remove cancerous cells from his forehead, sources familiar with the matter told The Hill.
According to a Biden spokesperson, Biden had Mohs surgery, a procedure where surgeons cut away layers of skin looking for cancer.
In May, Biden was diagnosed with an “aggressive form” of prostate cancer.
“Last week, President Joe Biden was seen for a new finding of a prostate nodule after experiencing increasing urinary symptoms. On Friday he was diagnosed with prostate cancer, characterized by a Gleason score of 9 (Grade Group 5) with metastasis to the bone,” the statement read. “While this represents a more aggressive form of the disease, the cancer appears to be hormone-sensitive, which allows for effective management. The President and his family are reviewing treatment options with his physicians.”
“Cancer touches us all,” Biden wrote on social media at the time. “Like so many of you, Jill and I have learned that we are strongest in the broken places. Thank you for lifting us up with love and support.”
In July, former White House physician Kevin O’Connor refused to cooperate with the House Oversight Committee in its investigation into Biden’s health decline. “It’s clear there was a conspiracy to cover up President Biden’s cognitive decline after Dr. Kevin O’Connor, Biden’s physician and family business associate, refused to answer any questions and chose to hide behind the Fifth Amendment,” Committee Chairman James Comer (R-KY) said in a statement. “The American people demand transparency, but Dr. O’Connor would rather conceal the truth. Dr. O’Connor took the Fifth when asked if he was told to lie about President Biden’s health and whether he was fit to be President of the United States.”
