Trump says he is ‘saddened’ by the diagnosis of Biden Prostate Cancer; Kamala says ‘Joe is a fighter’

The president of the United States, who has long criticized his predecessor for his cognitive abilities and age – despite being only four years younger – said he was “saddened” with learning that Biden was diagnosed with prostate cancer. “We send our most warm and better desires for Jill and the family, and wish Joe a quick and successful recovery,” the Magnata said in his social truth network, referring to Biden’s wife.

“Joe is a fighter,” he also said at Biden’s vice president, who replaced him as a candidate in the dispute against Trump after the Democrat retracted last year’s presidential elections. “I know that he will face this challenge with the same strength, resilience and optimism that have always characterized his life and leadership. We hope it will recover soon and completely,” he added.

Biden was diagnosed with a “aggressive” form of prostate cancer that spread to the bones, which is why he is evaluating treatment options with his family, according to a statement from his office released on Sunday (18). On Friday, the 82-year-old democrat was diagnosed after increasingly intense urinary symptoms and after detecting a new prostate nodule, as indicated in the note.

“Although it is more aggressive of the disease, cancer seems to be sensitive to hormones, which allows effective control. The president and his family are evaluating the treatment options with his doctors,” the text continues. According to the statement of his office, the cancer that affects the former president has “a score of Gleason of 9 (grade 5 group).”

Prostate cancer that has a “very abnormal” aspect receives the highest classification, grade 5, according to the American society against cancer. Gleason’s score usually indicates the sum of the degrees of the two areas of the prostate where most cancer is concentrated.
