President Joe Biden diagnosed with prostate cancer

His PSA score would have been sky high while still in the White House and it’s a very simple blood test and at his age, his personal doctor would have been screening him regularly. It’s seems very unlikely that they didn’t know.

Note, this isn’t a criticism. Biden was totally entitled to privacy.

Funny that you are claiming some inside knowledge based upon your family contacts, and then say he knew he had cancer before it became malignant???? 😂

OMG, just be quiet.

Do you know what specialty was not listed? Urology

This is deflection from the Hur report.

Two things can be true. He can have progressive cancer and he has been confused for quite some time.

Agree

Eff thst. I will sell blood to pay for DH PSA tests.

You really think he didn't have a PSA test?

Interesting that they released a statement from his doctor last year that included a number of reviews of his physical from doctors at Walter Reed/Bethesda. A long list of specialists. Interesting, that there was no urologist mentioned. I do not believe that was happenstance that it was left out.
They knew.

DH has PSA done every year and has for many years. For awhile, when there were some jumps, he had it every six months.

Another lie here?

So are you suggesting that Biden has been knowing for over a year that he had cancer and kept it a secret and did not treat it? And why did it keep it a secret when he was no longer the candidate after June 2024 and not even the president since January?

Who said he didn't treat it?

Is visiting a urologist a normal procedure in annual physicals for me? If do, my DH’s primary physician is failing him. Now I have to talk my DH into making an appointment and actually got going yo a urologist in addition to his cardiologist and nephrologist. Urologist was never on the scoresheet. Sigh.

I still find it unbelievable that this clearly unwell 82 year old decided it would be an excellent idea to run for reelection. I wish Biden the best but his decision to run again has been a disaster for America. I mean what were they thinking? The utter arrogance and hubris of the Biden family and the Democratic establishment is a travesty. And we are going to be paying for it for years. I have nothing but contempt for the Biden family and the DNC for putting the country in this position.

omg, seriously?? how about blaming Trump and every single person who voted for him in 2016. Clearly demonstrated he was unhinged. Biden only came out of retirement to run in 2020 because of Trump. Redirect your anger elsewhere and leave President Biden alone.

The gaslighting is all that remains for you. You are the same people who claimed Biden was "sharp as a tack," insisted that unless you are a biologist, you cannot determine a person's sex, and stated that COVID vaccines and masks could have eradicated the disease.

Please stop; we’re no longer listening to you. For the past 4.5 years, we have been fed lies and misinformation.

The utter hubris, arrogance, lack of ethic and morality, greed and criminality of the Trump family is destroying this country and I have nothing but contempt for them.

I fixed it for you.

Men his age are not routinely screened for prostate cancer.

If he had no symptoms, there would be no reason for him to see a urologist.

Stop with the paranoid fiction.

HE WASN’T THE AVERAGE MAN. Biden was the most powerful person on the planet and no one thought to test as part of his overall health?!?!

GTFOH.

No, it is not.

His PCP can order the PSA test.

Please don’t take medical advice from conspiracy theorists on DCUM!!

But I don’t think routine prostate cancer screenings are given to men once they hit their mid-70s maybe? The average life expectancy is 10 years or less at that point, so the medical establishment seems to think that a patient would die with prostate cancer, not necessarily of it at that age because it generally progresses so slowly.

I don’t think he was getting cancer treatment while president. You can’t hide that. You’d have a lot of bruising at the very least from all the IV’s, and he very likely would have lost weight. There would have been visible signs and he was being photographed and on video all the time and people would have noticed. Not to mention some staffer looking for their 5 minutes of fame running to the media about the President’s cancer treatments they were trying to keep quiet. Now I can definitely buy that he was showing symptoms while he was president, but that he blew them off and didn’t seek treatment, and then it turned out to be a much more aggressive form of prostate cancer than most older men get.

You think the president only gets "routine" screening? Really?

It’s unlikely he did not have symptoms.

It is possible that Biden is so mentally degraded at this point that he did not recognize the symptoms and could not report them.

The situation is very sad.

I can see Biden not wanting special treatment vs. what other people would get. Routine colonoscopies and mammograms are also discontinued after a certain age. At some point his doctors probably said, “hey you don’t need this anymore after next year!” And Biden just went with it because who really likes having a finger up the butt hole?

I love President Biden and am a big supporter. But I think it is likely he has either known for awhile, refused to be tested, or his doctors were grossly negligent in not suggesting these tests.

Men of a certain age should be tested regularly for prostate cancer. It is very common in older men, typically slow moving, and responds well to treatment when caught early. But, depending on the age of the patient, sometimes a decision is made that the treatment will cause more harm than the disease. As others have noted, for many men they will die "with" prostate cancer, rather than "from".

Perhaps, after diagnosis, the Biden's determined that it was worth the risk to not treat immediately. Maybe they just recently discovered it was more aggressive than they originally hoped.
