Washington, DC…(AP) — Former President Joe Biden has been diagnosed with prostate cancer, his office said Sunday. Biden was seen by doctors last week after urinary symptoms and a prostate nodule were found. He was diagnosed with prostate cancer on Friday, with the cancer cells having spread to the bone.
“While this represents a more aggressive form of the disease, the cancer appears to be hormone-sensitive which allows for effective management,” his office said. “The President and his family are reviewing treatment options with his physicians.”
Prostate cancers are graded for aggressiveness using what’s known as a Gleason score. The scores range from 6 to 10, with 8, 9 and 10 prostate cancers behaving more aggressively. Biden’s office said his score was 9, suggesting his cancer is among the most aggressive.
When prostate cancer spreads to other parts of the body, it often spreads to the bones. Metastasized cancer is much harder to treat than localized cancer because it can be hard for drugs to reach all the tumors and completely root out the disease.
However, when prostate cancers need hormones to grow, as in Biden’s case, they can be susceptible to treatment that deprives the tumors of hormones.

BO HO
How sad and this has been going on for awhile. At Joe’s age & coupled with dementia its not a going to have a good ending. Dr Jill, Bidens physician Dr O’Connor and many of the closest WH dems had to know about this for some time. Nothing like using a cancer stricken dementia patient for your greed.
This is beyond disgusting but about right from the party of greed and hate that went all the way to the WH and his family.
May you go thru this ordeal peacefully and pain free Mr President.
You might of been the worse POTUS in history but you shouldn’t have to suffer.
As if this asshole is the only person that has cancer why you fell so sad about him how about others that are not on your list of celebrities
I only feel for him because his Cuntry wife abused his position so she could stay in the WH.
How’s that dick head?
SEE YA joe!
I’d like to attend joe’s funeral to make sure he’s really dead.
Just imagine if this were President Trump, the democrats would be celebrating, dancing in the streets and rioting like they did in 2020 demanding that this be a National Holiday.
Joe as a live oak ct. doctor I need to stick my middle finger up your ass and check your prostate.
Joe you’re in good hands with Pot Hole Pete and Dr. Rachel Levine.
Another day, another cover-up unwrapped…
Remember the Regan charade?
He was gone mentally the last 2 years, so to have the Democrats do the same thing is typical political denialism.
We see a Democratic party run by the old South, with Clyburn calling the shots.
He scuttled Bernie Sanders 2x, ignoring his huge crowds, and crowdfunded moral campaigns.
Sanders was very popular across the country, on both sides, yet Clyburn stuck in hierarchy, wanted H Clinton and made it so.
What a different country the US would of been, with a true representative of the people, not the usual corporate lap dogs in both parties.
Return America back to it’s majority, not the billionaires.
The tax bill now in debate is a shi*can of welfare for billionaires, cutting FEMA, NOAA, EBT, medicade, science, medical grants for research much more all for the 11 trillion billionaire tax cuts.
America is for the majority, the people, not just the greedy immoral billionaires.
EBT, don’t breed them if you can’t feed them.
