Former President Joe Biden is diagnosed with an aggressive form of Stage 4 prostate cancer that has metastasized to his bones. This diagnosis follows a urinary screening which revealed a nodule in his prostate. Biden expressed gratitude for the support received during this challenging time, highlighting a message of resilience. His past experience with cancer, particularly the loss of his son Beau to brain cancer, drives his commitment to cancer research through initiatives like the Beau Biden Cancer Moonshot.
Biden's cancer diagnosis is equal parts tragic and ironic. It means long treatments that can be painful and debilitating, lots of waiting and worrying, and the very real possibility that you might not survive, even under the best circumstances.
The cancer appears to be hormone-sensitive which allows for effective management. Biden's experience in supporting and eventually losing his son greatly influenced his decision to spearhead the Beau Biden Cancer Moonshot.
