First Lady Jill Biden had two cancerous lesions and a third lesion was being examined.

Surgeons took out a cancerous lesion from her right eye and another one on her chest on Wednesday. A third lesion on her left eyelid is being looked at.

The lesion on Biden’s right eye was ‘fully excised, with margins, and was sent for standard microscopic examination’, said the president’s physician Dr Kevin O’Connor. The lesion on her left eye and one newly found on her chest were both basal cell carcinoma, he said.

Biden was ‘experiencing some facial swelling and bruising, but is in good spirits and is feeling well’, O’Connor said.

She was expected to return to the White House the same evening.
