Powell Has Cancer Surgery
WASHINGTON, Dec. 15, 2003
(CBS/AP) Secretary of State Colin Powell underwent surgery Monday morning for prostate cancer, a State Department spokesman said.
Richard Boucher said the operation was being performed at Walter Reed Army Medical Center in Washington.
Boucher said Powell "will be there for several days before he returns home. He will be on a reduced schedule while he recovers from the operation."
