support Dash Dogski founder of the Gen
2:21
Zed Perspective in a tweet said "Joe Joe
2:23
Biden has been diagnosed with prostate
2:26
cancer." Meanwhile CNN's Jake Tapper and
2:29
Axios Alex Thompson are attacking Biden
2:32
for struggling to answer questions about
2:34
his late son Bo in a year old interview
2:37
The mainstream media has no bottom
2:40
morally reprehensible vultures Dash
2:42

2:48
entire Biden family Nobody has done more

our hearts and prayers during this time
3:20
Joe is a fighter and I know he will face
3:22
this challenge with the same strength
3:24
resilience and optimism that have always
3:27
defined his life and leadership We are
3:30
hopeful for a full and speedy recovery
3:32
US 52nd House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said
3:36
"President Joe Biden is a great American
3:39
patriot Paul and I join the millions
3:42
across the country and around the world
3:44
praying for him to have strength and a
3:46
swift recovery in the battle against
3:48
cancer Sending love to him and his
3:50
family." Texas author Brittany Bell said
3:54
"Joe Biden is battling stage 4 cancer
3:57
It's serious It's human It's
3:59
heartbreaking He served our country for
4:02
50 years and he's fighting for his life
4:05
If this were you or your family you'd
4:07
want compassion Mocking This isn't edgy
4:10
It's inhumane Show some respect and
4:13
decency It was gathered that Biden was
4:16
seen last week by doctors after urinary
4:18
symptoms and a prostate nodule was found
4:21
He was diagnosed with prostate cancer on
4:24
Friday with the cancer cells having
4:26
spread to the bone While this represents
4:29
a more aggressive form of the disease
4:31
the cancer appears to be hormone
4:33
sensitive which allows for effective
4:35
management his office said The president
4:38
and his family are reviewing treatment
4:40
options with his physicians Prostate
4:43
cancers according to medical experts are
4:45
given a score called the Gleason Score
4:47
that measures on a scale of 1 to 10 how
4:50
the cancerous cells look compared with
4:52
normal cells Biden's office said his
4:55
score was nine suggesting his cancer is
4:58
among the most aggressive When prostate
5:01
cancer spreads to other parts of the
5:03
body it often spreads to the bones
5:06
Metastasized cancer is much harder to
5:08
treat than localized cancer because it
5:10
can be hard for drugs to reach all the
5:12
tumors and completely root out the
5:14
disease However when prostate cancers
5:17
need hormones to grow as in Biden's case
5:20
they can be susceptible to treatment
5:22
that deprivives the tumors of hormones
5:25
It would be recalled that the health of
5:27
Biden 82 was a dominant concern among
5:30
voters during his time as president
5:33
Associated Press reported that after a
5:35
calamitous debate performance in June
5:38
while seeking re-election Biden
5:40
abandoned his bid for a second term Then
5:43
Vice President Camela Harris became the
5:45
nominee and lost to Republican Donald
5:47
Trump who returned to the White House
5:49
after a 4-year hiatus But in recent days
5:53
Biden rejected concerns about his age
5:55
despite reporting in the new book

Original Sin by Jake Tapper and Alex
6:00
Thompson that AIDS had shielded the
6:02
public from the extent of his decline
6:04
while serving as president In February
6:07
2023 Biden had a skin lesion removed
6:10
from his chest that was a basal cell
6:12
carcinoma a common form of skin cancer
6:16
And in November 2021 he had a polip
6:19
removed from his colon that was a benign
6:21
but potentially precancerous lesion In
6:25
2022 Biden made a cancer moonshot one of
6:29
his administration's priorities with the
6:31
goal of having the cancer death rate
6:33
over the next 25 years The initiative
6:36
was a continuation of his work as vice
6:39
president to address a disease that had
