President Donald Trump said in a Sunday social media post that he and First Lady Melania Trump are “saddened” to hear of former President Joe Biden’s cancer diagnosis.
Biden was diagnosed Friday with an aggressive form of prostate cancer that metastasized to the bone, according to a Sunday release from his office. Trump posted to Truth Social on Sunday evening in response to the news.
“Melania and I are saddened to hear about Joe Biden’s recent medical diagnosis,” Trump said. “We extend our warmest and best wishes to Jill and the family, and we wish Joe a fast and successful recovery.”
Biden’s personal office indicated that the diagnosis is severe, but that there may be reason to believe that treatment could be effective.
“Last week, President Joe Biden was seen for a new finding of a prostate nodule after experiencing increasing urinary symptoms. On Friday he was diagnosed with prostate cancer, characterized by a Gleason score of 9 (Grade Group 5) with metastasis to the bone,” the statement announcing Biden’s diagnosis reads. “While this represents a more aggressive form of the disease, the cancer appears to be hormone-sensitive which allows for effective management. The President and his family are reviewing treatment options with his physicians.”
