Former US President Joe Biden has been diagnosed with an aggressive form of prostate cancer, his office announced in a statement. This development has sent shockwaves across the nation, with many expressing concern about the president's health and treatment options.
According to the statement, Mr. Biden's cancer is characterized by a Gleason score of 9 (grade Group 5) with metastasis 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. As an 82-year-old, Mr. Biden is the oldest president to have left office in the US. His experience with cancer is not new, as he lost his son Beau Biden to the disease in 2015.
This personal loss has driven him to lead a moonshot initiative for a cancer cure. The president and his family are currently reviewing treatment options with his physicians. The outcome of this process will determine the next steps in his treatment plan.
In the coming days, the nation will be watching closely as Mr. Biden navigates this challenging health issue. As a leader who has dedicated his life to public service, his courage and resilience will be put to the test once again.
