In a startling announcement released Sunday, Joe Biden's office confirmed that the 82-year-old former president has been diagnosed with prostate cancer characterized by a high Gleason score of 9, indicating an aggressive form of the disease. The diagnosis follows an appointment for urinary symptoms and has revealed that the cancer has metastasized to the bone. However, the Biden family is currently exploring treatment options, and the statement reassured that the condition is hormone-sensitive, suggesting it can potentially be managed. This health setback coincides with the challenges Biden faced prior to his withdrawal from the 2024 presidential election, as critics highlighted concerns regarding his age and health. Having served as the oldest president in U.S. history, Biden's political aspirations were notably curtailed after a heated debate against current president Donald Trump in which his performance drew considerable scrutiny. With his diagnosis, Biden’s situation becomes even more complex, as he transitions from political contender to patient amidst the evolving narrative of his health. As the story develops, more information will be provided regarding his treatment and the implications for his family and political career.
