Former President Joe Biden has been diagnosed with prostate cancer, according to a statement from his office.
The former Democrat president has long suffered from serious cognitive decline, and his regular bowel issues made headlines even when he was still in the White House, but apparently those issues were more serious than mere incontinence. Biden has now been officially diagnosed with an “aggressive form” of prostate cancer.

The cancer is serious but not necessarily deadly, the office claimed, while providing more details on the cancer. “On Friday he was diagnosed with prostate cancer, characterized by a Gleason score of 9 (Grade Group 5) with metastasis to the bone. While this represents a more aggressive form of the disease, the cancer appears to be hormone-sensitive which allows for effective management. The President and his family are reviewing treatment options with his physicians,” the office added.
