US Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin is back in the hospital with an acute bladder problem. The 70-year-old had returned to work at the Pentagon at the end of January after a lengthy period of illness.
Austin came under heavy criticism for keeping secret his diagnosis of prostate cancer and a hospital stay following complications from a procedure. Prostate cancer is the second most common cancer among men in the United States after nonmelanoma skin cancer. In the early stages, the chances of recovery are generally good.
