Exactly. It makes me feel bad for Biden especially since he has dealt with a lot (his first wife and Beau). I think he was an awful president but he clearly wasn't calling the shots, at all
Biden's annual medical reports did not include his PSA scores. There is no way it was not known that he had prostate cancer before he was elected over four years ago. One of treatments is what is basically chemical castration to stop the production of testosterone. This causes low energy, depression, and brain fog. All of these symptoms were observable before he was elected.
By the way Trump also doesn't disclose PSA scores.
You can have relatively high PSA without prostate cancer and vice versa. You need PSA, plus imaging plus biopsy if imaging (MRI) gives a high Pyrad score, e.g. Pyrad 4 or 5. If all those are "high" next step is biopsy where multiple samples are taken in the prostate. Only then do urologists have a clear picture (but still some subjectivity because those who read images give different scores....so it's not a perfect system) and can make recommendations. At this stage the Gleason score is important. Gleason 9, which Biden has, indicates an aggressive prostate cancer.
For the record, yours truly has Gleason 6, and is under "active surveillance" with PSA tests every few months.

This shows the bosses did not care a bit about him. Prostate cancer went untreated for years

I don't wish pain and suffering on him but he was a dishonest corrupt pol who hurt many people over many years and a willing puppet as president.
Sorry to hear this. I'm surprised that it wasn't detected earlier. You'd think the President would have the best health screenings in the world.
The news articles all try to be upbeat, but the reality is that agressive prostate cancer is often fatal, especially for seniors with pre-existing health conditions.
Prostate cancer screening after 70 is thought to do more harm than good.
Perhaps if you're too old for cancer screening, you're too old to run for president. And yes, he was too old in 2020. And Trump is also too old.
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.
I will bet every dollar I have that Trump did not write this himself.
Anyone know when his 1st reported fall was? Was it Nov 2020? Although I find is odd that they didn't find a diagnosis much sooner, I don't think were hiding it during his Presidency considering how much Democrats wanted Kamala to be the 1st women president so much.

right there with you fisky! I cannot believe this was not caught early. He had the best medical care in the world and he wasn't screend for prostate cancer???
Why should that fact be disregarded as a contributing factor ?
Please educate me.
Why *should* it be regarded as a contributing factor?
Please educate me.
It should not necessarily be considered a contributing factor, but it cannot be dismissed. The mRNA vaccines have been in widespread use for only 1617 days. Much remains unknown about long term effects. Biden's first 4 doses were confirmed to be Pfizer.

lol. The only time trump is “sad” is when he has to go to court.

Dude is 82 years old. He has dementia, cancer, etc. Once your mind is gone, how much of a quality of life are you holding on to? We all die eventually. This cancer is likely the final straw. And that is okay. He lived a good long life. It is pointless to hold on to the myth of immortality being sold by the medical industrial complex. That myth is bankrupting this country.
Just think for a moment that a year ago, Democrats wanted him to be "president" for 4 more years.
Biden/Harris is still preferable to Trump, if we wanted to maintain democracy.
Democracy like restricting freedom of movement, requiring a vaccine with a questionable safety record in order to make a living, weaponizing the DOJ against political opponents, and flooding communities with violent criminals without community input?
Or, nominating someone for president in a back room without a primary?

Yeah, real democratic.
To the extent that any of these things even happened, Trump v2.0 is worse.
There were so many lies told by Joe Biden, his wife and their aides that it’s hard to distinguish delusion from reality when assessing his disastrous presidency and determining who needs to be held accountable for all the crimes and cover-ups. But let’s start with Hunter Biden. According to an exclusive preview of the upcoming book “Original Sin” by Jake Tapper and Alex Thompson, at the same time that the White House and Hunter were denying the existence of his abandoned “laptop from hell” in early 2022, Biden aides were so concerned about the political fallout that they secretly arranged for the Democratic National Committee to obtain a copy of the hard drive. see NY Post article toady 5/19
