Former US President Joe Biden, aged 82, has been diagnosed with prostate cancer that has metastasized to his bones, according to a statement released by his office on Sunday.
The announcement revealed that the cancer, initially detected in the prostate, has now spread to other parts of his body, including the bones-a development that typically indicates an advanced stage of the disease. Biden’s medical team is reportedly evaluating treatment options and monitoring his condition closely.
The statement did not specify the symptoms that led to the diagnosis or the timeline of his treatment so far, but it assured the public that President Biden is receiving the best possible care and remains in good spirits. The family has requested privacy as they navigate this challenging period.
Biden, who served as the 46th President of the United States, has long been known for his resilience and commitment to public service. The news has prompted an outpouring of support and well-wishes from political leaders, former colleagues, and supporters worldwide.
Further updates on his health and treatment plan are expected as they become available.
