WASHINGTON (AP) — Former President Joe Biden has been diagnosed with prostate cancer, his office said Sunday.

Biden was seen by doctors last week after urinary symptoms and a prostate nodule were found. He was diagnosed with prostate cancer on Friday, with the cancer cells having spread 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,” his office said. “The President and his family are reviewing treatment options with his physicians.”

    Maybe I’ve been looking at the wrong communities but I’ve been really surprised with the amount of sympathy for this monster on Lemmy.

      If I had to guess it’s mainly .world accounts (and maybe feddit given their strongly pro-genocide stance). They think because Trump is scary and doing more bad things at home than Biden that Biden – the man who holds a large amount of responsibility for him being elected again (by stubbornly running again when he wasn’t fit then dropping out at the last moment) somehow deserves some respect for some reason. That and/or for them genocide just isn’t a line that once crossed makes someone bad. Little hitlerites the lot of them.

      It honestly blows my mind.

      It’s like these people haven’t had to look at their own bills for the last four years, much less read a news headline about how Biden bloodied his hands on Palestinian kids.
