General David Petraeus, the top U. S. Commander for the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, was diagnosed with prostrate cancer in February and has since undergone two months of radiation treatment.
Petraeus' diagnosis was not disclosed at the time because Petraeus and his family regarded it "a personal matter" that didn't interfere weith the performance of his duties, "said his spokesman, Col. Erik Gunhus.
The Pentagon termed his treatment "successful".
Some news reports have speculated that Petraeus may have interest in running for the presidency. Despite these accounts, Petraeus has categorically asserted that he has no political ambitions.
