Former US President Joe Biden has revealed an “aggressive form” of prostate cancer, which has spread to his bones, according to a statement on Sunday (local time).
According to the statement, the diagnosis followed the discovery of a prostate nodule, when he reported deteriorating the symptoms of urine, with a test of 9 (grade group 5) with a glyson score of 9 (grade group 5), confirming a high-grade cancer, indicating metastasis to the bone.
“Last week, the President Joe Biden was seen for a new discovery of a prostate nodule after increasing the symptoms of urine. On Friday, he was diagnosed with prostate cancer, which featured the Glesson score of 9 (Grade Group 5) with metastasis,” said in the statement.
Despite the severity, the cancer is reportedly hormone-sensitive, which can allow for effective treatment.
“While it represents the more aggressive form of the disease, the cancer seems to be hormone-sensitive, which allows for effective management,” the statement further reads.
The 82 -year -old Biden and his family are currently consulting with doctors to determine the best course of action.
“The President and his family are reviewing treatment options with their physicians,” said this.
Meanwhile, according to a new book by CNN’s Jake Tapper and Alex Thompson of Exios, titled “Basic Sin: President Biden’s decline, its cover-up, and his disastrous options for re-running”-The internal concerns within the Biden’s team were to be set for release on May 20.
Based on more than 200 interviews, the book, with mostly Democratic internal sources after the 2024 election, claims that Biden’s colleagues discussed the potential requirement of the wheelchair in a second term, although they deferred it during their reunion campaign due to political optics, as reported by CNN.
According to CNN, citing the book, Biden’s doctor, Kevin O’Coner warned that a decline could lead to a difficult recovery and possibly require wheelchair use and to reduce risks, employees tried to adjust their mobility issues – such as shortage of their walks, adding hands and using small stares.
During the debate against US President Donald Trump in June 2024, Biden’s physical boundaries appear more, as his poor performance ended, which eventually inspired him to run after weeks of the race. (AI)
