    Biden diagnosed with cancer, spread to bones!

    Former US President Joe Biden has been diagnosed with prostate cancer. He has been diagnosed with an ‘aggressive form’ of the cancer, which has also spread to his bones.

    This information was given in a statement from Biden’s personal office on Sunday (May 18).

    It said, ‘After experiencing symptoms of increasing urination last week, Joe Biden underwent tests for a prostate nodule. On Friday, he was diagnosed with prostate cancer. It was characterized by bone metastasis, which was characterized by a Gleason score of 9 (grade group 5).’

    The statement also said, ‘While this is evidence of a more aggressive form of the disease, the cancer may be hormone-sensitive, which allows for effective management or treatment.’

    The statement also mentioned that the 82-year-old Biden and his family are ‘reviewing treatment options’ with doctors.

    Biden is reportedly staying at his home in Wilmington, Delaware, this weekend.

    A Biden spokesman said a recent test found a “small nodule” in the former president’s prostate. The cancer diagnosis came days after Biden’s spokesman said the former president had been diagnosed with the disease.
