Former US President Biden posted a message tonight (May 19th) saying, "Cancer touches all of us. Like many of you, Jill and I understand that we become stronger where we are hurt. Thank you for inspiring us with your love and support."
At the age of 82, Biden's political career has always been accompanied by personal tragedies - from the death of his wife and daughter in a car accident in 1972 to the passing of his eldest son Beau due to brain cancer in 2015. These experiences have shaped his image as a tragic figure, and this cancer diagnosis further reinforces this narrative. Notably, his political rival Trump expressed condolences on this occasion.
Biden's health condition has long been questioned, especially during his presidency when he repeatedly experienced speech errors and physical exhaustion. After this cancer diagnosis, doubts arose over whether the White House had concealed his condition.
Biden is a globally renowned figure, and his cancer diagnosis is not only a personal health crisis but also reignites public attention on prostate cancer. Prostate cancer is a common malignant tumor among men, mostly affecting those over 50 years old, and the five-year survival rate for patients with bone metastasis in advanced stages is typically low (30%-40%).
