Joe Biden Fighting for His Life After Shocking Cancer Diagnosis
Joe Biden has been hit with a tough health blow doctors say he has an aggressive form of cancer.
In a public statement, his office confirmed that Biden, 82, was diagnosed with prostate cancer that has already spread to his bones. The cancer was found after he reported serious urinary issues. Tests revealed a Gleason score of 9 one of the most severe ratings for prostate cancer.
Despite how serious it sounds, doctors say the cancer is hormone-sensitive, which means it can be treated and managed with proper care. Biden and his family are currently talking to his medical team about the best treatment plan.
This news comes not long after he stepped away from running for re-election, following growing pressure over concerns about his health and mental clarity.
Even in the face of this diagnosis, Biden’s team says he’s staying strong and ready to fight.
