Former President Joe Biden was diagnosed with an “aggressive form” of prostate cancer, according to a statement from his personal office Sunday, and it has spread to his bones.

“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,” the statement said.

    Oof. Metastasis to the bone. Hope Biden holds out to fuck up his parade. Give him one last parting “Would you shut up, man?”

      If he really wants to fuck up Trump’s parade, he’ll die the day before it happens. The news cycle will be on Biden for the next few days and Trump’s ego show will be a pathetic side note.

        Trump will just do something outrageous and Biden’s funeral will be about as memorable as his presidency.

      luckily the cancer is still hormone receptor positive, meaning it response to anti-hormone therapy, which usually has more favorable outcomes(just like with breast cancer that is susceptible hormone therapy), if it was hormone negative, it implies a more aggressive type of cancer that is harder to treat. but metastasize already lowers your chances(in general prostate cancer is somewhat slow growing) but bidens mustve had a aggressive version that is still susceptible to antihormone therapy.
