Joe Biden Diagnosed with Aggressive Prostate Cancer
Former President Joe Biden, 82, has been diagnosed with an aggressive form of prostate cancer, his office confirmed on May 18. The cancer, with a high Gleason score of 9 and bone metastasis, is said to be hormone-sensitive, allowing for treatment options.
Biden ended his re-election campaign earlier this year, just months before the election, citing it was in the best interest of the country. In a statement, he reflected on his term, highlighting progress in healthcare, the economy, and democracy, calling it “the greatest honor” to serve as president.
