Joe Biden, the former US president, has been diagnosed with an “aggressive form” of prostate cancer that has spread to his bones, his personal office announced on Sunday.
The 82-year-old was seen last week by doctors after urinary symptoms and a prostate nodule were found. Biden and his family are considering options for treatment.
“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 given a score called a Gleason score that measures, on a scale of one to 10, how the cancerous cells look compared with normal cells. Biden’s office said his score was nine, suggesting his cancer is among the most aggressive.
Glad they specified Biden’s recent position. I can’t help but think what the alternate timeline where he stayed in office would look like with this diagnosis.
Can you imagine just how apoplectic the GOP would be with Harris ascending via this outcome?
Dallas does not have a monopoly on grassy knolls.
They’re the boy that cried wolf at this point. They’ll complain regardless, so hypothetically … 🤷♂️
