Joe Biden, 82, has been diagnosed with an aggressive form of prostate cancer that has spread to his bones. A statement from his office confirmed the cancer is hormone-sensitive, which could allow for effective treatment. The diagnosis comes after increasing urinary symptoms led to further testing. Donald Trump responded to the diagnosis with a rare show of goodwill, writing on Truth Social: “Melania and I are saddened to hear about Joe Biden’s recent medical diagnosis. We extend our warmest and best wishes to Jill and the family, and we wish Joe a fast and successful recovery.” Vice President Kamala Harris echoed the sentiment, calling Biden a “fighter” and expressing hope for a full recovery. This is not Biden’s first encounter with cancer — he’s previously undergone surgery to remove tumors and has long advocated for cancer research, especially after losing his son Beau to brain cancer in 2015
