Joe Biden Diagnosed With Prostate Cancer After Hours

Former US president Joe Biden has been diagnosed with prostate cancer, a statement from his office said on Sunday.

Biden, 82, was diagnosed on Friday after he saw a doctor last week for urinary symptoms.

The cancer is characterised by a Gleason score of 9 with metastasis to the bone, his office said, meaning it is a more aggressive form of the disease.

Biden and his family are said to be reviewing treatment options, the statement said. The former president's office added that the cancer is hormone-sensitive, meaning it can likely be managed.

It has spread to his bones, it seems. Aggressive but treatable. Ultimately depends on how much it's spread.

I'm not his biggest fan by any stretch after his policies on Israel, but he's more of a man than his successor could ever dream of.

Given his age, that's really bad. It has spread to his bones. I wish him well.

I suspect this diagnosis has been known for a while. I hope he can get through it.
