May 19, (THEWILL) – The immediate-past President of United States, Joe Biden, has been diagnosed with aggressive prostate cancer.
His Spokesperson said the 82-year-old former President was diagnosed with the cancer on Friday, which involves metastasis to the bone, after doctors found a prostate nodule.
The former president had been experiencing “increasing urinary symptoms”, Biden’s personal office said in a statement on Sunday.
“While this represents a more aggressive form of the disease, the cancer appears to be hormone-sensitive, which allows for effective management. The President and his family are reviewing treatment options with his physicians”, it added.
In a post on his Truth Social platform, President Donald Trump expressed sympathy for his predecessor.
“Melania and I are saddened to hear about Joe Biden’s recent medical diagnosis. We extend our warmest and best wishes to [Biden’s wife] Jill and the family, and we wish Joe a fast and successful recovery.”
