WASHINGTON — President Reagan and his wife, Nancy, will undergo annual physical examinations and routine post-cancer surgery tests today at Bethesda Naval Medical Center, the White House announced Thursday.
Col. John Hutton, the presidential physician, said in a statement that neither has shown any recurrence of cancer.
Reagan had a two-inch cancerous polyp removed from his colon in July, 1985. Hutton’s statement said the President will have a colonoscopy, a chest X-ray, a CAT scan, a cardiac stress test and a pulmonary function evaluation.
The First Lady had her left breast removed in October, 1987, after a cancerous tumor was detected. She will have her second mammogram since undergoing the surgery, a modified radical mastectomy.
