Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin had prostate cancer and had a prostatectomy and came down with an infection.

The only thing he should have done was to have told someone so that the defense department could run like it should and should not have kept it a secret.

But on a personal note, I pray for his recovery. You see I myself came down with an aggressive prostate cancer six years ago and had to have my prostate removed so the cancer would not spread to other organs.

I was lucky and they found the cancer early, like I believe they did with Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin. Continue to get well Lloyd Austin.
