Joe Biden breaks silence on devastating prostate cancer diagnosis
The Daily Mail ^ | May 19, 2025 | KATELYN CARALLE

Posted on 05/19/2025 6:04:28 AM PDT by Towed_Jumper

Joe Biden, 82, spoke out for the first time since his cancer diagnosis with a social media post on Monday morning.

'Cancer touches us all,' the former president wrote on X with a selfie of him sporting a brave smile alongside a somber-looking former first lady Jill Biden, who is holding their gray tabby cat Willow.

'Like so many of you, Jill and I have learned that we are strongest in the broken places,' Biden added. 'Thank you for lifting us up with love and support.'

The post comes just hours after Biden's personal office revealed that he was diagnosed on Friday with a severe case of prostate cancer that metastasized and spread to his bones.

A statement on the diagnosis said that the Biden family is deciding on treatment options.

'On Friday, he was diagnosed with prostate cancer, characterized by a Gleason score of 9 (Grade Group 5) with metastasis to the bone,' it adds of the grave prognosis.

Prostate cancers are provided a 'Gleason score,' which measures how the cancerous cells look compared with normal cells. Biden's score of 9 suggests his cancer is among the most aggressive.

'While this represents a more aggressive form of the disease, the cancer appears to be hormone-sensitive which allows for effective management,' his office noted.

The announcement came just one week after reports revealed that a 'small nodule' was found on Biden's prostate that needed 'further evaluation.'

First off, cancer sucks and I wouldn't wish it on anybody -including Slow Joe.

However, the look on that cat's face proves again that a picture is worth a thousand words. The cat looks like it's thinking "To Hell these two. I'll rip that prostate right out through Joe's a$$"!

Everyone realizing having Biden become President was elder abuse.

I hope he repents of the innumerable wicked things he’s done. He knew that abortion is a massacre of children, but changed his position to “pro choice “ for political expediency. He can start there

Joey and Jill have always been cheaters. They will cheat this “cancer”.

I pray for their suffering.

Joe probably had cancer for years and covered it up. This makes me even more disgusted with Dr. Jill for pushing him to stay in public office. Her face in that picture sickens me.

A book comes out tomorrow? You can’t criticize a dying man. Move on now. Trump’s health records are never detailed enough for media. Biden’s is so thorough we don’t ever need question his physician.

Poof!

And just like that, the prostate cancer coverup disappears the brain dead vegetable who didn’t sign executive orders coverup.

So predictable.

It would be wrong. I wouldn’t wish it. The man upstairs takes note of things like that.

I don't believe it. This is a cover up for the Hur released interview. I had prostate cancer at 65 years old. It was easy for me and many men to figure out early on that something isn't right down here. They go for an exam followed up with biopsy if necessary. I was told by the premier cancer center in FL that once over 60 prostate cancer moves slowly. I had three options, surgical removal of prostate, radiation pellets, and/or "watchful waiting" that means get a check up every six months.

I can't believe that the White House physicians didn't go one of these routes early on after one of Joes physical exams.

This is absolute BS so we all feel sorry for old Joe. Not me. Just another lie or exaggeration.

Another day, another Biden lie.

“Last summer, WH Physician Dr. Kevin O’Connor swore to the American people that Joe Biden was ‘completely fit for the presidency’ – no issues, nothing to see,” Johnson wrote. Yet, Prostate cancer is easy to find….......and advanced prostate cancer takes +10 years to develop to the stage where Biden’s diagnosis is today.

Jill Biden - I refuse to use the honorific - puts Lady MacBeth to shame.

I agree, I wouldn’t wish cancer on anyone, but look at positive side, Joe beat oil cancer, he can beat his too.

My father in law had prostate cancer at 78 and it was treated and he’s now 86.

A friend of mine was diagnosed with prostate cancer at 59. He went on the interwebs and read a lot of info about how normal treatments would cause impotence, incontinence and other stuff. He was big into health and “juiced” vegetables even, as his primary diet. He decided to “self treat” because the internet said he could. PAfter 3 or 4 years he finally went back to the doctor but it was too late. He was a childhood friend and a true free-spirit. RiP Buddy.

Love how the hacks at the Mail just accept the story that the Bidens just found out. It locks to me like the plan was to have Biden leave mid term making Harris the President.
