Jill Biden is 'feeling well' after the removal of two lesions that were identified as a common form of skin cancer, the White House physician says
According to a letter issued by White House physician Dr. Kevin O’Connor, Biden had a Mohs surgery to remove and examine a lesion on her left eyelid, which was recently discovered during a routine skin cancer checkup. “The procedure confirmed the small lesion was basal cell carcinoma,” O’Connor wrote in the letter. “All cancerous tissue was successfully removed, and the margins were clear of any residual skin cancer cells.
” This area was also treated with Mohs surgery on Wednesday, prolonging the length of the overall procedure and keeping the first lady, who was accompanied by President Joe Biden through most of the day, at Walter Reed longer than a White House official had previously indicated to CNN. The chest lesion was also confirmed to be basal cell carcinoma, according to O’Connor, and was “successfully removed.
