"The procedure confirmed that the small lesion was basal cell carcinoma. All cancerous tissue was successfully removed and the margins were clear of any residual skin cancer cells," O'Connor stated.
He maintained that another lesion on the left side of the first lady's chest, which also turned out to be cancerous, was found and removed using the same procedure.
President Biden flew with the first lady in the presidential helicopter to Walter Reed National Medical Center in the suburbs of Washington, D.C.
