Shocking Health News: Former President Joe Biden Diagnosed with Aggressive Prostate Cancer — Donald Trump Breaks Silence
In a stunning and somber revelation, former President Joe Biden has been diagnosed with an aggressive form of prostate cancer that has already spread to his bones. At 82, this news marks a serious new chapter in Biden’s health journey.
A Grim Diagnosis
On May 18, Biden’s office confirmed the diagnosis, revealing that doctors discovered a prostate nodule after the president experienced worsening urinary symptoms. Tests confirmed stage nine prostate cancer, with a Gleason score of 9 (Grade Group 5), indicating a particularly aggressive form that has metastasized to the bone.
The official statement offered a glimmer of hope:
“While this represents a more aggressive form of the disease, the cancer appears hormone-sensitive, which allows for effective management. The President and his family are actively reviewing treatment options with his medical team.”
Health Concerns and Political Fallout
Biden’s health has been under scrutiny for years, especially during his presidency and his brief 2024 presidential bid. After a contentious debate with Donald Trump and growing questions about his wellbeing, Biden stunned the political world by withdrawing from the race just months before Election Day — handing the reins to Vice President Kamala Harris.
Trump’s Unexpected Response
Despite a history of fierce rivalry and relentless barbs exchanged between the two political titans, Donald Trump took to Truth Social to offer a surprisingly heartfelt message:
“Melania and I are saddened to hear about Joe Biden’s recent medical diagnosis. We extend our warmest wishes to Jill and the entire Biden family and hope for a speedy and successful recovery.”
Support from Democratic Leadership
Kamala Harris, who assumed the Democratic campaign’s leadership after Biden’s exit, also expressed solidarity:
“Doug and I are saddened to learn of President Biden’s prostate cancer diagnosis. We keep Joe, Dr. Biden, and their family in our hearts and prayers during this challenging time. Joe is a fighter, and I know he will approach this battle with the strength, resilience, and optimism that have always defined his leadership. We remain hopeful for his full and swift recovery.”
A History of Courage in the Face of Cancer
This is not Biden’s first encounter with cancer. In 2023, while still in office, he underwent surgery to remove a cancerous tumor. He has also previously received treatment for skin cancer. Through it all, Biden has remained passionately committed to cancer research and advocacy — a mission fueled by the heartbreaking loss of his eldest son, Beau, who died from a brain tumor in 2015.
As Biden and his family navigate this difficult journey, the nation watches with hope and support for his health and recovery.
