Serious Disease
Last week, president Joe Biden conducted a survey on the increasing problems of the urinary system, which showed the presence of a fresh prostate tumor. He was diagnosed with aggressive prostate cancer on Friday, with Gleason score 9 (group 5) and bone metastasis. Gleason's scale, utilized to measure the hazard of cancer cell proliferation in the prostate, ranges from 3 to 10 and the score 9 indicates a advanced probability of developing the disease. Despite the aggressiveness of the tumor, his sensitivity to hormones has been identified, which can facilitate treatment. The president and his household are presently considering available methods of therapy.
The current U.S. president Donald Trump reacted to the situation. He wrote:
Melania and I are saddened to hear about Joe Biden's fresh medical diagnosis. We make the most heartfelt and best wishes of Jill and the family, and Joe wishes us a fast and successful recovery.
Prior wellness Concerns
Biden's age and state of health, the oldest president in U.S. history, raised doubts throughout his term, and peculiarly intensified after his failed debate with Donald Trump last June.
In February 2024, Biden underwent a survey at the Walter Reed National Military Center, during which his doctor, Dr. Kevin O’Connor, did not find fresh wellness problems, recognising the president as capable of performing duties.
The fresh book by Jake Tapper and Alex Thompson described the signs of president Biden's deteriorating condition, which his colleagues were to ignore even before the debate, after which he decided to retreat from the election in 2024. It besides mentions private discussions on the possible usage of wheelchairs and on the situation erstwhile Biden did not honor George Clooney during the fundraising.
Biden demented
After leaving the White House, Biden seldom gave media coverage, but late appeared on the program "The View" with his wife, denying the deterioration of cognitive functions.
Joe Biden and the erstwhile first woman rejected the allegations of wellness deterioration, emphasizing the hard work of the erstwhile president in the White House. Although Biden withdrew from the race in 2024, Donald Trump continues to criticize him, accusing him of declining cognitive functions, breaking unwritten rules of not attacking political opponents during abroad visits.
