Former President Joe Biden was diagnosed with an “aggressive form” of prostate cancer, according to a statement from his personal office Sunday, and it has spread to his bones.

“Last week, President Joe Biden was seen for a new finding of a prostate nodule after experiencing increasing urinary symptoms. On Friday, he was diagnosed with prostate cancer, characterized by a Gleason score of 9 (Grade Group 5) with metastasis to the bone,” the statement said.

    I believe he was trusting his gut at a point where his gut was no longer worth trusting, and everyone around him could see it but he could not. A very harsh example of why there should be age maximums as well as minimums for elected office.

    Edit: and I know this is dumb to bring up but I didn’t downvote your original comment. I see there’s a few downvotes there. I really value respectful conversations and try not to downvote people who I disagree with, who aren’t being harmful or hurtful.

      Nah, no worries, I figured by your tone you weren’t downvoting the original comment. It’s fine anyway, my comment has several reasons for people to legitimately object to it.
