Colin Powell Has Surgery for Prostate Cancer


Dec. 15 — WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Secretary of State Colin Powell was undergoing surgery for prostate cancer on Monday morning, the State Department said.

"Secretary Powell is undergoing surgery this morning for prostate cancer," the State Department said in a statement, adding that the operation was being performed at Walter Reed Army Medical Center.

Powell, 66, will be at the medical center for the next several days before he returns home and he will be on a reduced schedule while he recovers from the operation, it added.

State Department spokeswoman Brenda Greenberg said the surgery was previously scheduled and was not an emergency procedure. President Bush was informed two weeks ago and U.S. Deputy Secretary of State Richard Armitage was authorized to act in Powell's absence, she said.

"The secretary is fine," Greenberg said of Powell's condition. "If there are any changes in his condition we will inform you."

Prostate cancer is nasty. I think Mitterrand died of this one.

Not the colon Sloww, the reproductive organ. Studies have shown that people who don't have sex often (or anyway, "discharge") have increased chances of developing prostatis cancer. If you don't use it, you'll lose it
