Former President Biden has been hit with some devastating news – he’s been diagnosed with a serious case of prostate cancer. His office announced this shocking development on Sunday, leaving many people stunned after he decided not to run for reelection due to concerns about his age and health last summer. The office revealed that Biden had been experiencing troubling symptoms and was examined last week, leading to the diagnosis of aggressive prostate cancer with bone metastasis.
Biden, who is 82 years old, had been gradually reentering the public eye after leaving office. He even hired a communications strategist to help improve his image amidst criticism of his time in the White House. This diagnosis is especially heartbreaking for Biden, who lost his son to cancer while he was serving as vice president. Despite the grim outlook of the cancer spreading to his bones, there is hope that hormone treatments can help manage the disease for now.
The news of Biden’s diagnosis has sparked an outpouring of support, with his former running mate and current Vice President, Kamala Harris, expressing her sadness and offering prayers for his recovery. Even former President Trump, who defeated Biden in the previous election, sent well wishes to him and his family. Biden is currently in Delaware with his loved ones, exploring treatment options with his medical team. The road ahead may be tough, but knowing Biden’s fighting spirit, he is sure to tackle this challenge head-on.
