According to Maj. Gen. Pat Ryder, US defense secretary Lloyd Austin does have a medical treatment at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center and will resign from office for good. After receiving treatment for prostate cancer in December, Austin is still dealing with urine problems, according to Ryder.
The method he will go through on Friday night is elected and less aggressive, the media director said.” It is not related to his cancer diagnosis and has had no impact on his excellent cancer prognosis,” the press secretary said.
While he is indisposed, Austin did grant Kathleen Hicks, the Pentagon’s spokesman, the expert.
Austin, 70, has had continuing health problems since undergoing surgery to solve a penile cancer treatment. Following issues from a prostatectomy, he spent two weeks in the hospital. At the time, Austin was criticized for not telling the president or Congress of either his treatment or treatment right away.
Austin was subsequently admitted to intensive care for a second time due to a kidney problem and given general hypnosis at the time. He was then taken up to Walter Reed for a non-surgical process.
The Pentagon has notified the White House and Congress, Ryder said.
