PROVO, Utah (AP) -- President Gordon B. Hinckley's family is tight-lipped about future treatments for the leader of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.

President Hinckley's daughter, Virginia Pearce, says they're NOT discussing the possibility of chemotherapy for the LDS Church president. Instead, she says they're focusing on getting him over the surgery.

Last month, President Hinckley had a cancerous growth removed from his large intestine.

Pearce says her father is recovering well. She says doctors told them he's on schedule and is working hard to get better.
