Former U.S. President Joe Biden has been diagnosed with an aggressive form of prostate cancer with a Gleason score of 9, which has metastasized to his bones.
This diagnosis was announced by Biden’s personal office in a statement that read: “Last week, President Joe Biden was seen for a new finding of a prostate nodule after experiencing increasing urinary symptoms.
“On Friday, he was diagnosed with prostate cancer, 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. The President and his family are reviewing treatment options with his physicians.”
Since the public announcement, there had been an out pour of love and support from the presidency and political community, who have shown their support and love towards Biden in a message.
