Joe Biden was diagnosed with prostate canc3r earlier this year, and he will soon receive a new treatment.
Joe Biden, the former president of the United States, has provided another health update regarding his canc3r diagnosis, which he made public earlier this year.
In May, the eighty-two-year-old Biden declared that he had prostate canc3r.
His personal office issued this statement at the time: “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 canc3r, characterized by a Gleason score of 9 (Grade Group 5) with metastasis to the bone.”
The Gleason score, which compares the appearance of malignant cells to normal cells on a scale of 1 to 10, is assigned to prostate tumors. A malignancy with a score of nine is considered to be one of the most “aggressive.”
More recently, on October 11, Biden’s spokeswoman declared that he would have radiation therapy to treat his serious canc3r.
The spokeswoman continued: “As part of a treatment plan for prostate canc3r, President Biden is currently undergoing radiation therapy and hormone treatment.”
Biden has already started taking the hormone medicine tablet, and the radiation treatment is expected to last five weeks, according to a Mail Online story.
Biden’s team stated that the initial revelation of his canc3r diagnosis was aggressive.
“Even though this is a more severe form of the disease, the cancer seems to be hormone-sensitive, which enables effective management,” the May statement went on.
“The President and his family are reviewing treatment options with his physicians.”
Biden also spoke about his upcoming treatment back in May.
He said: “It’s all a matter of taking a pill, one particular pill, for the next six weeks and then another one.
“Well, the prognosis is good. You know, we’re working on everything. It’s moving along. So I feel good.”
“Cancer touches us all,” Biden wrote in the caption of a photo he posted of himself, his wife Jill, and their cat. He also thanked everyone for their support and nice thoughts.
