Several U.S. officials offer good wishes and prayers.
Former President Joe Biden revealed that he had been diagnosed with prostate cancer on Sunday. The disease has reportedly advanced aggressively, metastasizing in his bones.
His office stated, “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 release continued, “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.”
President Biden stated on social media, “Cancer touches us all. Like so many of you, Jill and I have learned that we are strongest in the broken places. Thank you for lifting us up with love and support.“
President Donald Trump responded to the news, “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.“
Secretary of State Marco Rubio wrote, “Jeanette and I are united in prayer for the Biden Family during this difficult time.”
House Speaker Mike Johnson posted, “This is certainly sad news and the Johnson family will be joining the countless others who are praying for the former President in the wake of his diagnosis.”
Former Vice President Kamala Harris stated, “Joe is a fighter — and I know he will face this challenge with the same strength, resilience, and optimism that have always defined his life and leadership. We are hopeful for a full and speedy recovery.“
Former President Barack Obama expressed, “Michelle and I are thinking of the entire Biden family. Nobody has done more to find breakthrough treatments for cancer in all its forms than Joe, and I am certain he will fight this challenge with his trademark resolve and grace. We pray for a fast and full recovery.“
As the Lord Leads, Pray with Us…
