STATEMENT BY WILLIAM M. LUKASH, M.D.
REAR ADMIRAL, USN.
Mrs. Ford today completed a comprehensive medical examination at
Bethesda Naval Hospital. She has been undergoing routine medical
examinations every four months since she underwent breast surgery
for cancer on September 28, 1974. Mrs. Ford completed a two-year
course of cancer chemotherapy last month and today's examination
was somewhat more extensive in connection with the completion of
this two-year course.
Today's physical examination included blood tests, X-rays, bone scans
and mammography. Dr. William Fouty, Chairman of the Department of
Surgery at the National Naval Medical Center in Bethesda, who performed
her surgery, reported that the preliminary findings show no indication
of cancer recurrence.
The X-rays did indicate some minimal progression of her arthritis
condition and it is anticipated that she will continue to have periods of
discomfort.
Mrs. Ford is very pleased with the results of today's examination and
is looking forward to maintaining an active schedule.
