Joe Biden Announces Diagnosis of Aggressive Cancer

Joe Biden, at the age of 82, has disclosed a recent diagnosis, revealing he is facing an ‘aggressive form’ of cancer. This announcement came directly from his personal office.

A statement from his office explains that a visit to the doctor last week revealed a new finding concerning a prostate nodule. This was spurred by increasing urinary symptoms he had been experiencing.

“On Friday, the medical team diagnosed Mr. Biden with prostate cancer, which is described by a Gleason score of 9 (Grade Group 5) indicating it has spread to the bones,” the statement detailed.

The statement further assured: “Despite being a more aggressive cancer, it’s hormone-sensitive, which opens up effective management possibilities. Mr. Biden and his family are currently consulting with physicians to explore treatment options.”

Joe Biden, the 46th President of the United States, was elected on November 7, 2020, defeating the then-incumbent President Donald Trump. Biden concluded his presidency on January 20, at which point Trump, aged 78, returned to the White House, having defeated Kamala Harris, Biden’s Vice-President.

Biden had initiated a campaign to secure another term in office but withdrew from the race with three months remaining in his term.

In a heartfelt message to the nation, Biden wrote: “In the past three and a half years, we’ve made significant strides as a nation.

“America today boasts the strongest economy globally. Historic investments have rebuilt our nation; we’ve successfully lowered prescription drug prices for our seniors and provided affordable healthcare to more Americans than ever before.

Biden stressed: “None of this would have been possible without the strength and resilience of the American people. We faced and overcame a pandemic unprecedented in nearly a century and the toughest economic slump since the Great Depression. Together, we upheld and protected our democracy while rejuvenating our alliances worldwide.

“Serving as your President has been the highest honor of my life. Although I intended to seek re-election, I now find it more beneficial for my party and our country to step back and concentrate fully on my presidential duties for the rest of my term.”

He concluded with a sincere message: “I hold firm to my belief that America is capable of anything when united. We must always remember that we are the United States of America.”
