Ex-President Biden visited the doc last week and got bad news.<\/p>\n

\n

Former US president Joe Biden has been diagnosed with an “aggressive” form of prostate cancer that has spread to his bones, and is reviewing treatment options, his office said Sunday.<\/p>\n

On Friday, the 82-year-old Democrat — whose son Beau Biden died of cancer in 2015 — was diagnosed with the disease after he experienced urinary symptoms and a prostate nodule was found, a statement from his office said.\u00a0 AFP<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Several articles describe this as a fairly severe case, and that apparently the cancer is metastasizing and is also in his bones according to AP.<\/p>\n

\n

Prostate cancers are given a score called a Gleason score that measures, on a scale of 1 to 10, how the cancerous cells look compared with normal cells. Biden\u2019s office said his score was 9, suggesting his cancer is among the most aggressive.\u00a0 Hawaii News Now<\/a><\/p>\n

It continued, \u201cWhile this represents a more aggressive form of the disease, the cancer appears to be hormone-sensitive which allows for effective management.\u201d\u00a0 CNN<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n

According to the CNN article, the Gleason scale runs from 1 to 10 and 9 is at the ugly end of it. Cleveland Clinic<\/a>\u00a0 By the time you hit “Cancerous cells look very abnormal” you are at a 5. (They actually add two area’s scores to produce the final score, too.<\/p>\n

Mr. Biden was asked when he and Jill appeared on “The View” whether he experienced cognitive decline his last year in office. He denied\u00a0 it. (No, I am not going there, it’s just too easy.<\/del>)<\/p>\n

President Trump set aside his normal aggressive tone when he spoke of Mr. Biden:<\/p>\n

\u201cMelania and I are saddened to hear about Joe Biden\u2019s recent medical diagnosis. We extend our warmest and best wishes to Jill and the family, and we wish Joe a fast and successful recovery,\u201d he posted on Truth Social.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Not a Biden fan at all, as any astute reader of past columns can attest – but I wouldn’t wish a severe cancer diagnosis on anyone.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
