Hey everyone, a new update has emerged in the world of politics and health. Former U.S. President Joe Biden, aged 82, was diagnosed with an aggressive form of prostate cancer on May 16, as announced by his personal office on May 18.
Doctors revealed that the cancer, marked by a Gleason score of 9 (Grade Group 5), has already spread to the bone. The diagnosis came after Biden experienced urinary symptoms, which led to finding a small nodule on his prostate.
Although this is a serious diagnosis, experts noted that the cancer appears to be hormone-sensitive, which means there are effective treatment options available. Biden and his family are now reviewing these options with his physicians.
This tough chapter comes after his historic term as the oldest-serving U.S. President from January 2021 to January 2025. As he faces this challenge, we send him our strength and support. Stay tuned for more updates and take care of your health! 💪🩺
