TRUMP has issued a statement on Joe Biden after the former US president revealed he has been diagnosed with prostate cancer.
The US President took to Truth Social to wish Biden and his family well following the difficult news.
Biden, 82, who served as president from 2021 to 2025, confirmed he had the advanced form of the disease in a statement from his personal office.
Trump wrote on his Truth Social platform: “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.”;;
Biden was seen last week by doctors after suffering urinary symptoms, with a prostate nodule then being found.
He was then diagnosed with prostate cancer on Friday, with the cancer cells having spread to the bone.
While it is a more “aggressive”;; form of the disease, which looks “very abnormal”;;, the cancer appears to be hormone-sensitive, meaning there would be the prospect of “effective management”;; of his illness.
The president and his family are currently reviewing treatment options with his doctors.
The statement from Biden’s personal office read: “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.
“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.”;;
