Former President Joe Biden diagnosed with aggressive form of prostate cancer
News of the former president’s diagnosis was shared on Sunday by his personal office just days after doctors had discovered a prostate nodule. Biden had reportedly been suffering from increasing urinary symptoms and received his official diagnosis on Friday. It was also revealed that the aggressive form of cancer, characterized by a Gleason score of 9, has metastasized to the bone. Since the news broke, the former President has taken to social media to share a statement of his own alongside wife and former first lady Dr. Jill Biden, writing “Cancer touches us all. Like so many of you, Jill and I have learned that we are strongest in the broken places. Thank you for lifting us up with love and support.”
