Cardinal Francis George will undergo treatment for cancer, the Chicago Archdiocese announced Friday.
According to a statement from the Archdiocese, the Cardinal underwent a procedure on Wednesday at Loyola University Medical Center.
Today the Cardinal met with his doctors who reviewed test results with him which indicated cancerous cells in his kidney and in a nodule that was removed from his liver, the statement said.
Doctors will work with Cardinal George to plan a course of treatment. He will be resting at home this weekend and will be on retreat next week, according to the statement.
This evening, parishioners prayed for his health during services at Holy Name Cathedral.
Cardinal George, 75, has a history of health problems. He underwent surgery for a rare form of bladder cancer six years ago. Doctors said at the time the cancer had not spread to other organs.
