President Joe Biden on Wednesday accompanied Jill Biden to Walter Reed hospital to be with her for outpatient surgery to remove a small lesion above her right eye, known as Mohs Surgery.   

Dr. Kevin O'Connor, Physician to the President, said the lesion was found during a routine skin cancer screening. 

'The First Lady's procedure is proceeding well and as expected. Dr. O'Connor will provide an update later today,' according to the East Wing.  

Jill Biden, 71, is the oldest first lady in modern American history.

Mohs Surgery is an outpatient procedure where thin layers of skin are cut away and tested for cancer.

Jill Biden's office announced last week she would undergo the procedure at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center in Bethesda, Maryland.

In April 2021, she had a 'common medical procedure' at an outpatient center near the George Washington University campus.

And, in July 2021, she traveled to Walter Reed to have debris removed from her foot after she stepped on an unnamed object while walking on a beach in Hawaii.

Wednesday's procedure was done after the Bidens returned from a three-day trip to Mexico, where they met with their Mexican and Canadian counterparts as part of the 'Three Amigos' summit.

The first lady toured the renowned Templo Mayor Museum Tuesday afternoon with her counterparts Dr Beatriz Gutiérrez Müller of Mexico and Sophie Grégoire Trudeau of Canada.

She also gave a shoutout to her beloved Philadelphia Eagles, who beat the New York Giants in Sunday night's playoff game.

'I'm a big supporter of the NFL. Actually, on the plane here yesterday, I was watching the Eagles beat the Giants,' she said.

She praised the NFL for 'teaching our children the values of respect and integrity.' 

The first lady joined local students in Mexico City for a Tochito NFL flag football event, which promotes gender equality and girls' empowerment. 

'I always say that sports is the international language. And you can see how children from within countries, children playing other children from other countries - It's all about unity. And believing in the same values and goals.'

Jill Biden, who teaches English at Northern Virginia Community College, did give the school kids a little grief on Monday.

'You know I'm a teacher so I'm just wondering like, Did you skip school to be here?,' she said. 'Maybe,' she noted when the kids looked sheepish. 'Okay, thank you for being here.'

Before the NFL event on Monday, she hosted a conversation on women's empowerment at the official residence of the US ambassador to Mexico, Ken Salazar.

'We have never been silent,' she told the group. 'But women have been silenced. For many women around the world, simply raising their voice is a struggle and they had to fight for a seat at the table. 

'When women are left behind or pushed out, it hurts us all. But when women get the opportunities they deserve, there's no limit to what we can do.'
