If you're so Christian you will pray for him and hope for the best. Prayers are being sent to President Biden.


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.


+2. All the very best to him. I’m really hoping he’s not the last President whose love for country was the primary driver.

Of course he had this for years. You don't get to 82 and then all of a sudden have urinary difficulties. Most men have BPH well before 80 which would lead to screening.

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.


Metastatic rather than malignant?

Suddenly, everyone is a urologist. A quick google search informed me that a rare type will spread very quickly and symptoms of the bone cancer, after it has metastasized, may occur first.

Giving the conspiracy theorists the benefit of the doubt, let’s say he did know while he was still potus. And the plan was to get him reelected and soon after would need to step down. Ok, fine. But it has been 10 months since he left the race. What possible (nefarious) reason would he have to keep it secret? If anything, it could have helped the Harris campaign with some sympathy votes and by showing just how quickly health status can change at that age, since Trump is the same age.

It would be totally in line with Biden’s character to refuse special treatment and only do normal screenings for his age, especially after he left the race.

If he did keep it secret, I’m sure it was only so that he and his family could have time to process before having to deal with Trump/Maga. Considering how many people are already suspicious, and the fact that Jr is already saying that it is just another lie because Dr. Jill Biden should have caught it, that’s probably not a bad idea. Poor fool doesn’t know the difference between a medical doctor and a doctor of education.

Is there any chance Biden and his team thought this would be disclosed in the new book and wanted to get ahead of it?

Of course Donald Trump issued a supportive statement for Joe Biden…who would he blame on a daily basis for all his mistakes if Biden died?

I hope not. Anyone who takes the liberty of disclosing PHI for personal profit should rot in hell.

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.


My father was diagnosed with stage IV kidney cancer via bone metastasis. Many, many kidney cancer patients are diagnosed at Stage IV because there are no screening tests and it is often asymptomatic until late stage. My father had aggressive therapy and lived one year which was six months longer than the doctors thought he would. Even when kidney cancer is caught early it often returns and is extremely aggressive.

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.

Dr. Zeke Emanuel is an oncologist and he also thinks he’s had it for years.

I don’t trust any doctor that conclusively weighs in on someone’s health who they haven’t personally treated. It’s irresponsible.

Many people have this cancer for years and don’t treat it because it’s often slow growing and people die of other things first. And SOME prostate cancers are aggressive and get to the bones quickly.

But anyway, Trump took another $2 billion bribe and the House is trying to pass a bill that would make it illegal to regulate AI for 10 years. Pay attention.

I see several possibilities here.

1. Biden has horrible doctors and didn’t think to test him.

2. Biden was so out of it he didn’t recognize symptoms so they didn’t do anything

3. Conspiracy stuff like they knew but hid it from everyone even him

Tell me you saw the viral post going around on Twitter without telling me you saw the viral post on Twitter...

HiS pSa ScOrE lmao Leave the medical analysis to actual doctors or at least if you're going to pretend you have doctors in the family, get the words you're using correct (malignant/metastatic).

22% of diagnosed prostate cancer patients had acceptable PSA scores in the year prior to diagnosis.
11% of those diagnosed with prostate cancer are under age 55, which is when we start screening for it (or age 40 w/ family history).

Anyone who has ever had a loved one suffer from an aggressive cancer can tell you have fast it can go from 0 to 60.

Another possibility is he knew and didn't tell the public.

Whatever it will be harder for him to pick on a man who is battling a serious cancer diagnosis. Or at least it should be.

It did not stop Trump for pick on John McCain while McCain battled brain tumors.

Last July the WH denied Joe Biden’s Las Vegas medical incident, which required shutdown of several roads. They had to rush him home immediately after canceling the hospital visit.

Then really weird stuff started occurring....

The cover up is dark there is a lot to hide.
