    That isn’t necessarily true. He might not have had any surgery even with a diagnosis. My grandfather who passed away recently had this. There was a mass detected in his prostate very early. He was on a catheter for five months prior to his passing. He kept attempting water test to get off the catheter. He stubbornly asked a lot about surgery for the mass but none of the doctors he saw ever said it was safe. They literally had nothing they could do. Nothing to indicate the mass was causing his symptoms. The surgery itself cared a risk of death. They had nothing to operate for.

    Just because this man was POTUS, does not mean during any stage which this cancer had been detected could surgery be afforded. Sometimes there is nothing to operate on. If this diagnosis was during his term, that doesn’t mean he would have had a surgery that got covered up.
