Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin has returned home after undergoing a minimally invasive elective medical procedure Friday evening.
Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin will resume his duties after successfully undergoing an elective medical procedure at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center Friday, Pentagon press secretary Maj. Gen. Pat Ryder said in a statement. The procedure was minimally invasive and was not related to Austin’s cancer diagnosis and would have no impact on his prognosis, Ryder said. Austin, 70, was still dealing with bladder issues that arose in December following treatment for his prostate cancer.
Austin has had ongoing health issues since undergoing surgery to address his prostate cancer diagnosis in January. He spent two weeks in the hospital following complications from a prostatectomy. Austin faced criticism at the time for not immediately informing the president or Congress of either his diagnosis or hospitalization.
