Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin will bear a nonsurgical method Friday evening at Walter Reed Clinical Center as a follow-up for a bladder situation he had previously this calendar year, the Pentagon claimed in a launch.
The technique is unrelated to his most cancers prognosis.

The Pentagon said the White Home and Congress have been notified, and that Austin will be briefly not able to perform his duties for the duration of the technique.
As a final result, “Deputy Secretary of Protection Kathleen Hicks will presume the functions and obligations of the Secretary of Protection, and serve as the Acting Secretary of Defense,” the Pentagon claimed.
Austin was identified with prostate cancer and hospitalized in December, but didn’t explain to the White Household for numerous days at the time.
