Former President Joe Biden has been diagnosed with an
aggressive form of prostate cancer that has spread to his bones, as confirmed by his office. This diagnosis serves as a stark reminder of the health risks associated with prostate cancer, particularly for men over 70.
Biden's last known screening for prostate cancer occurred in
2014, when he was
71 years old and serving as vice president. Health experts recommend that men over 70 should stop having regular prostate-specific antigen (PSA) tests, which are the standard screenings to assess prostate cancer risk.
In a heartfelt social media post, Biden remarked, “
cancer touches us all,” emphasizing the shared struggle many face with this disease. He added, “
Like so many of you, Jill and I have learned that we are strongest in the broken places.” This personal reflection resonates deeply, especially for those who have experienced similar health challenges, including the loss of his son, Beau, to cancer in
2015 at age 46.
As Biden navigates this diagnosis, it highlights the importance of awareness and early detection in combating prostate cancer, a disease that affects countless men and their families.
