Former President Joe Biden has the entire country behind him after tough news.
Biden was diagnosed on Friday with an aggressive form of prostate cancer that has spread to his bones, his office said in a statement on Sunday.
The diagnosis came after Mr. Biden reported urinary symptoms, which led doctors to find a “small nodule” on his prostate. The cancer is a more aggressive form of the disease, characterised by a Gleason score of 9 out of 10.
Biden and his family are said to be reviewing treatment options.
The announcement said that Biden had been experiencing “increasing urinary symptoms” prior to the diagnosis.
Biden left office in January as the oldest-serving president in American history. Throughout his presidency, he faced questions about his age and health, ultimately leading to his abandoning his re-election campaign.
Since leaving office, Joe Biden has largely kept a low profile.
