Once you reach a certain age they don’t check. Medicare doesn’t pay for PSA test.

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?

Prayers for him and his family.

He has never written such a mature and coherent statement. Not one CAP! I suspect that is not real.

Maybe Melania wrote it.

PSA tests not always accurate

Not with an aggressive cancer.

NP. This is not how prostate cancer works, even aggressive prostate cancer. There is enough awful here without spreading misinformation.

You’re wrong. If he hasn’t had bloodwork
done in four months, it’s entirely possible that it moved that fast.

No. It is not. I am begging you, please stop spreading misinformation.

This is an awful situation. You are making it worse. Prostate cancer at stage 4 does not appear in four months. It simply does not. That’s not the disease course.

I think people must be feeling some political pressure to lie or something, and it is the worst possible instinct. Please do not do this.

What on earth are you panicking about? Are you an oncologist who has treated Biden? If not, you have no idea how long he’s known about it either. What is so awful and dangerous about suggesting that it’s not a conspiracy and sometimes illnesses happen quickly??? Weird.

NP. You obviously do not know that different types of cancer metastasize at different rates. What the previous poster is telling you is that prostate cancer is a type of cancer that does not spread nearly as quickly as, for instance, typical forms breast cancer. For instance, kidney cancer is a notoriously slow growing cancer that, even when "aggressive," can go untreated and will not kill the person as fast as even typical forms of breast cancer will. There is no way any man, least of all a man as heavily monitored for any warning signs of ill health as POTUS, is going from a normal PSA to metastatic cancer that has spread to the bone in mere months.

It's OK not to know things. It's not OK to be a moron who doesn't know anything on point and yet continues to argue.

There are different kinds of prostate cancers, genius. And some DO spread quickly. Do you know what kind he has?

I doubt the President needs Medicare while in
,or out, of office.

It has metastasized to the bones. Prayers to the Biden family.

Well that takes time to have happened. Ugh.

Wish him no pain and all peace.

Makes me wonder about the quality of care the Presidents are getting. Didn't Biden have regular checkups at Walter Reed?

As a JHU radiation oncologist pointed out on MSNBC today, at Biden’s age, routine PC screening is over—by 13 years. It is not recommended past 70 or when life expectancy is <10 years, whichever is sooner.

Everyone dies of something. For the President’s sake, I hope he chooses treatment that does not sap his quality of life. He deserves whatever good time he can get.

The President of the United States does not get "routine" care.

There are recommended parameters, and they are recommended for reasons that include the likelihood of screening resulting in unnecessary treatment and medical misadventure that does not prolong life and may even shorten it.

Those are not just considerations that apply to “middling Fed husbands”; they apply to us all.

Are we supposed to be pretending Biden, his administration, and his doctors didn't lie to the nation about his physical health on top of the lies about his cognitive health?

Did this administration tell the truth about anything?

Medicaid is not relevant as he gets his care at WR and it's whatever the doctor orders and Tricare approves but they have a special clinic for important people and I cannot imagine anything is denied like it is to the rest of us. The best and brightest active duty doctors are at that clinic.

Several members of my family are Doctors and the consensus is that Biden knew that he had prostate cancer while he was still POTUS but kept it confidential. It has now become malignant and he wants all this recently media scrutiny to go away so he disclosed it.

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.

I am friends with several doctors who asked their urologist friends. The consensus I’m hearing is that there is no way Biden asymptomatically went from a clean bill of health in summer 2024 to advanced prostate cancer with bone mets in early May 2025. It is extremely unlikely.

The question is whether he was treated at all. I agree, he’s entitled to his privacy, but I am worried he suffered. Bone mets are very painful; I really hope he was treated, and it just failed or the cancer progression occurred despite treatment.

Prayers to him.

And a sigh for any Democrats who speak ill of him.

Biden may have all sorts of faults and weaknesses in private, but, in public, as president, he was polite, positive, courageous and sensible.

He may not have always done what you or I would have liked, but he always tried to do what he and many of his advisors believed to be the right thing, for the good of the country and the world.

The clock betrayed him in the end, but he gave us every scrap of energy he had. It’s disappointing to see some Democrats teaming up with the MAGA wolves to tear into him. He deserves better.

+1

History will be the true judge and will be very kind to President Biden.

This is heartbreaking for him and his family. He is a good human who loved and served his country with honesty and integrity.
