Joe Biden, former US President, has been diagnosed with an aggressive form of prostate cancer.
According to reports, the cancer spread to his bones. It was discovered after Biden reported urinary symptoms that led doctors to find a small nodule on his prostate. Biden and his family are currently reviewing different treatment options to combat the aggressive form of cancer.
In a statement released on Sunday, said, “Last week, President Joe Biden was seen for a new finding of a prostate nodule after experiencing increasing urinary symptoms.” It continued, “While this represents a more aggressive form of the disease, the cancer appears to be hormone-sensitive, which allows for effective management.”
After the news broke about his diagnosis, Joe Biden received an outpouring of love and support from many people. Current President Donald Trump, former Vice President Kamala Harris, and former President Barack Obama all showed their support.
Trump wrote that he and first lady Melania Trump were “saddened to hear about Joe Biden’s recent medical diagnosis.” He added, “We extend our warmest and best wishes to Jill and the family. We wish Joe a fast and successful recovery.”
