CNN —
Former President Joe Biden was diagnosed with an “aggressive form” of prostate cancer, according to a statement from his personal office Sunday, and it has spread to his bones.
“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 said.

I sincerely wish President Biden a full recovery if they are being honest this time. I believe that he does have cancer.
The problem is that, after blatantly lying about his physical and mental condition for years, their credibility is low and this one, doesn't make sense based on what we know.
1. The President of the United States has one of the most comprehensive, regular testing done by the best doctors and medicine. A prostate exam is a given. Along with blood tests that would show abnormalities which should detect, even aggressive cancers early. A cancer that has already spread to his bones is NOT early detection. There are exceptions of course but his handlers have proven to lie so much, why would we believe them about anything?
2. Did he have the cancer a year ago and they're just telling us now?
3. Did he refuse to have medical tests because he knows they would have provided indisputable evidence and documentation of his serious physical and mental declines and it prevented the testing that would have detected this early?
4. It seems too extreme, even for them to make up the fact that prostate cancer has spread to his bones to gain empathy right before Jake Tapper's book is released that reveals the massive cover up of Biden's conditions. Almost nobody would do this.........but these people are the exact types that would.
5. Again, I wish Joe Biden a full recovery but there are some missing medical pieces of the puzzle to the story that require some explaining..........or we can just speculate on those missing pieces.
I'll give him the benefit of the doubt and put my wild guess on #3.

Most prostate cancers are found when the cancer is only in the prostate. It's less common for someone to have metastatic prostate cancer when first diagnosed with prostate cancer. Metastatic prostate cancer happens most often in people who had treatment for prostate cancer in the past.
+++++++++++
It's hard to believe that the President of the United States, with no history of prostate cancer in the past (that we know of) suddenly has advanced prostate cancer that has spread to his bones......without them explaining how exactly did he get there and the source being as unreliable for transparency about Biden's health as any source we know of about anything.
Hopefully they will clear this up with additional information.
Regardless, best wishes to President Biden in his recovery. For sure he'll have the best doctors and treatment known to medicine in 2025 helping him.
A handful of medical experts were quick to question how the former president could be diagnosed at such a late stage — especially given that prostate cancer can be detected early with routine bloodwork, which is recommended for men over the age of 50.
“Gleason grade 9 would have had an elevated PSA level for some time before this diagnosis. And he must have had a PSA test numerous times before. This is odd,” he added. “I wish him well and hope he has an opportunity for maximizing his quality of life.”
Dr. Steven Quay flagged similar concerns, saying Biden’s type of cancer is the easiest to diagnose when it first starts and progresses
They are not telling us something. Here is what we do know with certainty.
1. Biden and his handlers lied about his physical and cognitive condition every day of every week during his 4 years in office.
2. After his term ended, they were quiet for awhile. Then in early May, 2025 Joe Biden came back on the scene to go on a damage control speaking tour to try to preserve his legacy.
3. His conversations were loaded with more lies about his compromised physical and cognitive state during the 4 years that he was in office(that we all clearly saw and heard) and ironically, displayed the same problems that he's been trying to convince us he never had.
4. Suddenly, on May 18, 2025 the same people that have proven to be constantly lying about Joe Biden's physical and cognitive state for years, announce for the first time that Joe Biden has advanced prostate cancer..............that has already spread into his bones.
5. This, without providing information about how it could have happened. This would be like a person telling us about the starting point and ending points, A and D without telling us about points B and C which are needed to understand how we got from A to D. In this case, THINGS HAPPENED AND TIME WAS TICKING between when Joe Biden did not have cancer yet and when they told us suddenly that he has advanced cancer already spread to his bones.
If this prostate cancer has spread to his bones, then he must have had it last year. If he had it last year, why weren't they treating it then or why didn't they tell us? Or why did they even let it go undetected for so long that it spread to his bones? Detecting it with the basic tests that Biden must have been getting WOULD HAVE found it waaaay before it got to this stage. What gives?
Incredible the way this has turned into another political battle with the same ones covering for Biden's physical and cognitive losses during his 4 years, doing it again.
https://www.cbsnews.com/news/biden-prostate-cancer-testing-how-it-spreads/
Biden, who is now 82, did not undergo prostate cancer screening during his last medical checkup while in office, in February 2024, according to records released at the time. Experts say this is likely due to that fact that these screenings are not routinely recommended for men 70 years or older.
"Doctors will stop screening for prostate cancer at 75 or so, because after that, the prostate cancers you typically pick up are very slow growing, and so the harms of all of the testing and treatment for something that may not kill you — you're talking about risk versus benefit. It may not be worth the risk," Dr. Céline Gounder, CBS News medical contributor and editor-at-large for public health at KFF Health News, explained on "CBS Mornings" Monday.
++++++++++++++++++=
Nonsense. There is 0..........ZERO risk or harm with testing for prostate cancer and 100% benefits to KNOWING that you have it early compared to not knowing well beyond age 75!
+++++++++++++++
But PSA can't be interpreted if a man doesn't get his PSA tested. Population studies have shown that "men diagnosed at 75 years or older account for 48 percent of metastatic cancers and 53 percent of prostate cancer deaths, despite representing only 26 percent of the overall population," says Tran, Clinical Director of Radiation Oncology and Molecular Radiation Sciences.
Why are older men more likely to die from prostate cancer? To find out, the team studied 274 men over age 75 who underwent radiation therapy for prostate cancer. "We found that men who underwent PSA testing were significantly less likely to be diagnosed with high-risk prostate cancer, and that men with either no PSA testing or incomplete testing (either a change in PSA was not followed up, or a biopsy was not performed when it was indicated) had more than a three-fold higher risk of having high-risk disease at diagnosis, when adjusted for other clinical risk factors," says Tran
++++++++++++++++++=
But we do now have a possible explanation for how Joe Biden, in May 2025 has advanced prostate cancer that has already spread to his bones from the top article:
Biden, who is now 82, did not undergo prostate cancer screening during his last medical checkup while in office, in February 2024, according to records released at the time.
To prove how dumb that was by his doctors(if they really were this dumb), all we need to do is ask whether it would have been better to detect and treat his prostate cancer back in February 2024 BEFORE it spread to his bones..........when treatment is extremely effective and the 5 year survival rate is 99%+ or to find it now, after it's spread to his bones and the 5 year survival rate is just 37%?
However, we should note that apparently these were the same doctors that lied about Biden's Alzheimer's gait, calling it arthritis in his spine and that his cognitive health was great.
Regardless, this was the president of the United States for Pete's sakes and he's supposed to have the best doctors and best tests. It's completely inexcusable and not justifiable if they really did decide to not screen for prostate cancer at his last check up in February 2024. The outcome here based on this article is the indisputable evidence for why it was inexcusable.
Let's twist this whole thing around to make it about blaming the MAHA crowd for a really dumb position to take the heat off of what really happened:
“Turbo cancer” claims are back.

When prostate cancer spreads, the bones are typically the first area affected. There’s no cure for metastatic bone cancer, but treatment options may help alleviate symptoms to keep you comfortable.
Prostate cancer is one of the types of cancer that is most likely to spread, or metastasize, to bones. There are four main stages of prostate cancer, and stage 4 often involves bone metastases. Bone metastases can weaken your bones and lead to symptoms like bone pain.
Bone metastases occur in more than 60 percent of those with advanced prostate cancer. Although prostate cancer that spreads to the bones can’t be cured, you can take steps to strengthen weakened bones and manage symptoms like bone pain.

ABC Nightly news, along with the MSM was going along with the latest Biden health cover up.
According to them:
"It's unclear whether President Biden had a PSA test or not at his annual physical in 2024 but all the medical experts we contacted told us that this test is not recommended after the age of 70"
Are you kidding me???
When you have blood work to test for dozens of key components in your blood to determine health abnormalities, all they do is take a tiny bit of that blood and use it to do the individual component test.
The PSA is just 1 of those.
Cheap, convenient and effective test for prostate cancer and suddenly, at 70 they shouldn't do it?
The incidence of prostate cancer goes up with age, it's medically irresponsible to claim that experts advise not testing for it anymore after age 70.
That's exactly how people die and profound anti science, anti authentic medical advice.
No honest, competent doctor would have advised the president of the United States to stop getting his PSA tested because he's too old for the test!!!
Here's more on the easy peacy PSA test that for some impossible to explain reason, according to sources, that the president of the United States did not get with his last physical in February 2024.
+++++++++++++++++==
Every man over 50 should get it done every year and in some cases, 2 times a year.
I have a couple of medical conditions that result in me getting blood work more often than most people but I will share my PSA results from the past 5 years with you.
I had this PSA test, along with other blood work at that time, done 8 times in less than the last 5 years.
I find it impossible to understand why President Biden did not have this PSA test done in 2024.
They are not telling us the truth about something.
If I'm lucky enough to live as long as Joe Biden, you bet I will continue to have my PSA tested along with the rest of my blood work.
The only reason to stop doing this easy peacy test is if I have a terminal condition with only a couple of years to live.....because I'm going to die from something other than prostate cancer spreading to my bones which takes A LONG TIME.
This was my last result from February 2025(3 months ago).
2.78 is below 4.0 which is still good for 69 years old. 
This is a graph of the last 8 readings, going back to 2020.
These were the last 5 readings below. We should note the small increase. It's normal for the PSA reading to slowly increase with age. My last reading of 2.78 would be a bit elevated for somebody under 50 but is close to normal for my age of 69 years old. I need to consider additional testing if it gets above 4.o NG/ML.
Prostate cancer is the most common type of cancer in men! 1 in 8 men get prostate cancer and the risk increases with age.
It's the 2nd most deadly cancer for men.
If I live past 80, you bet that I will continue to have my PSA tested.
Such a cheap, convenient and extremely valuable tool for diagnosing prostate cancer LONG BEFORE IT SPREADS!!!!
From the story that we are getting, Joe Biden having a PSA test over a year ago WOULD HAVE very likely tipped off his medical team about his prostate cancer BEFORE IT SPREAD and when it was 99% treatable and does not shorten life spans.
Now that its in his bones, his chance of surviving 5 years is below 40%.
For the life of me I can't make sense of this!

Prostate cancer is the most common non-skin cancer and the second leading cause of cancer death among American men. Since the introduction of the prostate-specific antigen (PSA) blood test in the 1990s, the death rate has declined significantly. NCI estimates that the five-year survival rate for men diagnosed with early-stage prostate cancer is 98 percent, and 90 percent of all cases are now diagnosed at an early stage, when the cancer has not spread beyond the prostate gland.
++++++++++++=
If you are a man over 50 and never get your PSA level tested.........why not?
It's just plain medical ignorance to not get this easy peasy test and you should insist on it with your annual physical when your doctor does blood work.
If your doctor insists that you don't need your PSA tested..............it's time for a better doctor.
The objective of this thread is far more than just to expose another Biden health cover up but to provide medical enlightenment which leads to better management/decisions that cause healthier outcomes for those practicing these irrefutable medical principles.
If one’s doc were to not run a PSA test as part of one’s bloodwork even after the patient politely asked his doc to do so, I’d agree that a doc change would be in order.
For those who don’t know, one can go online, pay for, and request from LabCorp, Quest, and others any test not run by one’s doc.
The PSA guidelines need to be seriously reviewed in light of what’s happened to Joe Biden. As mentioned, had he had annual PSA tests done til now, he very likely would have had his prostate cancer dealt with at a much earlier stage.
Joe Biden, even at his most inarticulate and even with his voice weakened by age, has more gut commitment to and understanding of what America at its best means to the world, and who our real friends are and must always be, than every member of the Trump admin. combined
-Thomas L. Friedman, NY Times, 5/19/25 from an opinion article
Thanks, Larry.
Thats A great idea about ordering your own blood tests online but I’m pretty sure that if you want insurance to pay for it, you’ll need a doctors script.
Ill have to check that out to see what they charge even though I have several doctors that will write me scripts for whatever I need.
++++++
Latest new information below on Bidens latest health scandal ……prostate-gate, that adds additional insight.
Joe Biden was diagnosed with an enlarged prostate in 2019 and had severe enough symptoms that it required surgery and medication.
His doctors in 2019 indicated that he did not have prostate cancer then/yet.
This means that his doctors MUST HAVE been closely monitoring his prostate after that, which means they absolutely would be testing for prostate cancer at least once a year. It's impossible for me to believe otherwise.
They are claiming that he didn't have a PSA test done in February 2024 but the only reason that makes sense is if he already had prostate cancer then(and was being treated) and possibly had it during his entire 1st term considering it usually takes years to metastasize to the bone.
Biden wants us to believe that it was just now suddenly discovered and has spread to his bones. No way.
The MSM wants us to believe that experts told them that having a PSA test after the age of 70 is not recommended. No way.
+++++++++++++===
You keep comparing Biden to Trump so that you can make Biden look good........even though he looks really, REALLY bad and keeps looking worse.
Feel free to continue if you want but in this thread, I'm going to stick with comparing Biden to basic minimal standards that people should expect from a president and, actually anybody that holds an office or position in power.
Actually in any relationship involving trust.
Biden and his handlers, the Ds and MSM after a disastrous attempt to cover up Bidens compromised cognitive and physical condition that cost them the election in 2025, instead of learning a lesson are doing it again here with his prostate cancer.
What Trump is doing is completely independent of this.......has nothing to do with this.
We have plenty of threads here discussing Trump's pathological thinking and behavior with me leading in confronting Trump.
Again, you can use this thread for that too if you want but I will point it out and analyze what makes you do that even when the topic has 0 to do with Trump.
mcfarm has a term for it with 3 letters
Again, Biden is telling us that he had no idea about this and was just discovered with prostate cancer last Friday because of increasing urination problems(with it already spread to his bones).
I say with extremely high confidence that he is blatantly lying!
His enlarged prostate absolutely caused serious urination problems which were there since at least 2019. To claim this was the new symptom that caused him to get checked is a lie.
Common symptoms of BPH include:
This article is a complete bs cover up using anti medical principle spins for Biden lying about his condition, previous testing and likely treatments.
Exactly like they did in 2023/24 when they presented him as a candidate for president for another 4 years!
This is just an extension of the exact same thing. Continuing to cover for and lying about Bidens health while he was president, even after they already got busted bad for doing it.
Crazy!
While most prostate cancers grow slowly, aggressive varieties like the former president’s can progress much more rapidly.

++++++++++++++
Right MSNBC!
After Biden had prostate gland surgery and was on meds for his prostate because of serious issues that started in 2019, which would have had to include MAJOR urination problems already in 2019 if it resulted in surgery............we are to pretend that never really happened and his doctors pretended that he didn't have a long lived pre existing condition that would have absolutely caused them to do at least annual, if not more frequent than that prostate testing.
+++++++++++++
My Dad also had an enlarged prostate, starting in his 70's. He had surgery to shave his prostate(which is likely what Biden had done) but it grew back and he was plagued with urinary problems at night for the rest of his life...........which lasted until he was 99.
He lived that long, partly because he never had prostate cancer. He was on meds for his prostate for 3 decades and of course he was getting his PSA tested when he was still getting regular blood work done.
Well into his 80s.
It's so dumb for the media to keep repeating that experts recommend no more PSA testing after the age of 70 to make it look like that was the reason they didn't find the cancer until...............suddenly out of nowhere it popped up last week.
If that really was what experts say, then it sure makes them all look dumb right now since we assume that continuing the PSA testing would have found Biden's cancer years ago.
That advice of not testing may very well be ok for men with 0 symptoms or history or family history or that had previously LOW readings earlier in their lives.
That would NOT be Joe Biden. He had major symptoms and a long history from the enlarged prostate AND HE WAS THE PRESIDENT.
If there was a man that should continue to have his PSA and prostate examines AT LEAST once a year well into his 80's(at least thru his presidency, ESPECIALLY if he was planning to be president for another 4 years!) .........it was Joe Biden.
I have to stress that. If Joe Biden was planning on another 4 years as president, like he was in February 2024, its completely loony tunes to not test his PSA then.
Whether he wanted to or not, it was a no brainer for the doctors to test his compromised prostate as a man planning to be in the oval office for another 5 years.
Prostate cancer is the most common cancer in men! It's really, really dumb to not test a president with a history of major prostate problems planning another 5 years in office.
I would bet my house that they tested his prostate numerous times in his 1 term and that they knew he had prostate cancer while he was still in office. Maybe for a couple of years?
This is what makes his story of suddenly discovering it last week so ludicrous.
Doctor who worked with Biden says he had cancer ‘while he was president’: ‘He did not develop it in the last 100 to 200 days’
A top oncologist who once worked for former President Joe Biden claimed Monday that his old boss must have had prostate cancer long before Sunday’s public announcement of his diagnosis and suggested the oldest-ever president may even have had the disease for “a decade.”
Dr Ezekiel Emanuel, a former member of Biden’s transition team who helped craft the Obama-era Affordable Care Act, stunned MSNBC’s left-leaning “Morning Joe” with his analysis that the 82-year-old likely had cancer while serving as president.
“He’s had this for many years, maybe even a decade, growing there and spreading,” Emanuel told the Biden-supporting hosts early Monday. “He did not develop it in the last 100 to 200 days.”
“He had it while he was president. He probably had it at the start of his presidency in 2021. Yes, I don’t think there’s any disagreement about that.”
++++++++++++++
OF COURSE, he had it for a long time and is lying (AGAIN) that he just discovered it last Friday.
C'mon MSM and Ds, stop covering up Biden's galactic lies about his health and medical conditions!
I sincerely wish Biden the best in CONTINUING TO TREAT/MANAGE this long lived condition but since he's had it for a long time and lied to us, its dampens some of the empathy for him.
++++++++++
what Biden just did related to his health has nothing to do with Donald Trump.
OK, I just figured out why Biden didn’t have a PSA test in February 2024.
Because it would have been highly elevated from his prostate cancer and bust their successful effort of covering up Bidens prostate cancer while he was president And obliterate his plans to run for a 2nd term even earlier, after the cover up of his big cognitive losses was exposed in June.
I have suffered with prostrate problems for years including cancer. Thanks go to MM for the detailed explanations. What he as said is fact. Biden knew, Jill knew, hiss doctors knew, his staff knew, the press knew, his family knew. They again tried to scam the American people. Ohh what a surprise that crime family would pull such a stunt. But I do wish him well as I know first hand what a battle he has been lying about.

Hey mc,
1. Most importantly, Im hoping your prostate cancer is no longer a problem or at least under control.
2. Less importantly but important to the discussion, it is not “fact” that they all knew. It is only a possibility.
Thanks, mcfarm,
You are like many men with prostate problems that understand this well enough to realize its a line of bull to believe the circumstances leading up to Biden telling us his prostate cancer was just suddenly discovered last Friday.
My 8 PSA tests the past 5 years along with a couple of serious medical conditions(that include major impacts on my urinary and endocrine/hormone system) , along with my Dad having 30+ years of a very enlarged prostate (with major symptoms, surgery and meds like Biden was treated with) caused my bs meter to immediately flash wildly when I read the first story about this on Sunday.
I will disagree with one thing that you stated.
I believe that Biden's prostate cancer was a well kept secret that very few people knew about.
We only read about his physical last February in February 2024. The tests they ran and results as well as the interpretations by the family doctor they used were entirely and intentionally chosen to display a health version of Joe Biden that didn't exist.
There is NO WAY somebody with his prostate history and procedures was not under the constant care of a urologist. Where are the tests run by the urologist?
I've had one. My dad had one. Why wasn't the president of the United States being seen for his prostate issues by a urologist (specialist on the prostate gland). Not just for a brief period but FOR THE REST OF HIS LIFE.
Biden is covering up and hiding the results of urology tests that showed his prostate cancer. There is no way his family doctor did not know and was keeping it confidential.
Spare me any of the bs explanations from politically biased experts/urologists being interviewed in stories telling us how this cancer could have gone undetected for so long and suddenly showed up last week.
I can't judge what their motivation is for sure but they avoid addressing the comprehensive facts surrounding this which tell us with extremely high confidence that Biden was under the constant care of at least 1 urologist the entire time he was in office because of his ongoing prostate problem that he had since at least 2019 and they are lying about testing and findings.
If he was a poor person with no health insurace, it might make sense for him to totally neglect his ongoing prostate problems for years in a way that would explain the sudden discovery of prostate cancer last week.
He was the president. He was being seen by a urologist, just like he was being seen and treated by an Alzheimers expert/nuerologist. ......which they covered up.
There is no doubt about this but if it wasn't true then you would have to ask, why would a president in this age of advanced medicine with serious medical issues NOT be treated for them by a specialist?
Of course he was!
had a procedure a few years ago called Green Light Laser. They used a laser to remove the prostate and hopefully all the cancer. I have been, just like you reported, having regular PSA blood tests for 25 years.....even now. Its another aid to re check everything on the return of a possible malignancy. There now is some new procedure for the enlarged prostrate called uro-lift. It sounds less invasive and I would try that nowadays
"Possibility" that many many close to him including his doctors knew? I would bet many dollars that the "probability" that Comey's lie about the sea shell and Bidens's about the cancer are both near 100%
Did you happen to hear the out take of an older Biden speech where claims to be a cancer survivor? Now I know he lies like a you know and exaggerates in most every speech even about his family, education, law degree, China and Russian money etc etc, etc, but in the speech he just slipped while trying to tell another whooper. Pretty sad when the truth is what slips out and the rest is just another Biden lie about his past.
Thanks, mcfarm!
It's clear that you understand it so well because you experienced it big time yourself.
Was watching CNN just now and they had a Dr. Reiner, Biden spokesman on that insisted that Biden's last PSA was in 2014.
His claim was that Joe Biden likes to go by the book and that's what the medical experts recommended. No more prostate testing after the age of 70.
Who could possibly believe this????????
He had an enlarged prostrate in 2019 that required surgery and taking meds and is at a higher risk for the type of cancer that impacts the most men of all and he's the president and they don't give him the gold standard, easy peacy PSA, prostate cancer test even 1 time for over a decade???
That is completely impossible to believe.
The truth is much more likely that he had a greatly elevated PSA that indicated the slow growing cancer and THEY WON'T SHOW IT. So they claim it doesn't exist.
The urologist that has that information(and he MUST HAVE been seeing a urologist) is not named and even if we knew who it is, they will never give that information up........lying like his other doctor did last February.
All this blatant and crystal clear lying and covering up for Biden is way over the top of anything I remember because its being based on stating so many really stupid medical things and contradictory facts by people covering it up.
They behave as if we're all medically uneducated morons that believe everything we hear/read.
mcfarm,
I'm glad that you had some good doctors taking care of you.
How amazing is this???
mcfarm, the corn and soybean farmer from central Indiana has better and smarter doctors using the latest tests and technology than the president of the United States, Joe Biden!!!
Biden has advanced prostate cancer, spread to his bones but his doctors never tested him even 1 time for prostate cancer since 2014........even in the midst of his enlarged prostate that required surgery and specialized treatment from a urologist, along with meds.
But the urologist(s) never thought to test him for prostate cancer?
Not 1 simple blood test even 1 time that would likely have tipped them off. .......according to them.
And many in the MSM are pushing this as a fact. Finding doctors/experts that confirm it as medically solid principles and believable.
+++++++++++++
They keep mentioning his doctor in February 2024 and those tests.
He had a urologist for numerous years with his enlarged prostate, surgery and meds. No way that a urologist would not have insisted on a PSA test. No way, no chance the urologist would not have given him PSA tests while under his care. Where are those results???
Answer: In a place that we will likely never find out about unless a whistle blower comes forward which seems unlikely because they could be subject to legal consequences.
The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) of 1996 establishes federal standards protecting sensitive health information from disclosure without patient's consent.

Urologist Dr. David Shusterman said Biden, who received the finest health care while in office, could have known for some time. He said the type of metastasizing cancer the former president has takes years to develop.
“This is what I typically would see in a VA hospital, where a patient hasn’t had medical attention in 10 years, presents to an emergency room with bone pain, and then they find that it’s metastatic prostate cancer,” Shusterman told “NewsNation Prime” on Sunday.

Former President Joe Biden has been diagnosed with "aggressive" prostate cancer that has spread to his bones after experiencing urinary symptoms, his private office said on Sunday.
++++++++++
When Biden was seeing a urologist for an enlarged prostate in 2019, who operated to reduce the size, there is a near 100% chance that he was experiencing these urination problems(thats what enlarged prostates do!). The same symptom they mention above associated with prostate cancer.
Impossible to believe that, when they performed surgery to remove part of his enlarged prostate in 2019, they would not have tested his PSA first to determine if his symptoms were coming from cancer so they could remove the cancer in that operation.
Where are the records from his urologist during that time frame?
This is somewhat encouraging:
Urologist explains treatment options after Biden's cancer diagnosis
CNN senior reporter Betsy Klein joins Fredricka Whitfield after the shocking announcement of Joe Biden's "aggressive" cancer diagnosis. Plus, Dr. Jamin Brahmbhatt, a urologist from Orlando Health, explains the possible treatment options for the former president.
Hey Mike,
The official US guidelines really are to stop the annual PSA test at age 70:
In 2018, the US Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF) made the following recommendations about prostate cancer screening:
as MM discussed earlier that is silly and makes absolutely no sense. The way this is written they act like a blood test is some health risk. One blood test once/year is hardly a big decision or a difficult one. What ever doctor makes this recommendation must of written this right after the big lie started with Biden's prostate. And again I would like an explanation on Biden telling us he is a cancer survivor in speech about that same time as now we know he was being treated and had what some say were many usual common prostate problems....infections, leakage, pain, urgent rushes to the bathroom
Larry,
I completely understand the confusion on this because so many places have GENERAL guidelines verbiage that states that testing after 70 is no longer recommended.
However, this was done to reduce the numerous, costly biopsy's (invasive procedures) of patients with high PSA's that ended up not having prostate cancer.
Fact is that Joe Biden did have a very invasive surgery to remove part of his prostate from overgrowth in 2019. They would absolutely would have done a biopsy then and wanted to know if there was cancer and doing a PSA before that was a no brainer.
And the president of the United States should not be worried about excessive cost or invasive, potentially life saving biopsy's like the rest of the general population.

mcfarm said it very well. How old are you, mcfarm?
Hey Mike,
But that may be why a PSA was supposedly not run since 2014, whether that makes sense to you or not. You’re not his doctor making the decision. I’m not saying that would be a good decision at all. I’m actually in favor of increasing it above 70.
NO! Larry, you are dead wrong!
Joe Biden, in 2019 had a surgery to remove part of his enlarged prostate(and probably more than that).
For Joe Biden, this was much MORE than just avoiding doing a simple biopsy, which is what the general guidelines are designed to minimize(based on the average life expectancy of the general population being LESS than 80 and the average time for prostate cancer to kill you being 10 years)
Joe Biden, in 2019 had a surgery to remove part of his enlarged prostate which is MUCH MORE invasive than the biopsy and at that time, there's a 100.000% chance that they did a biopsy of the tissue that was removed.
Why are they not releasing that information? And before that, his urologist would have absolutely ordered a PSA test to gain additional information to understand his enlarged prostate condition better and whether they would also be looking for cancer when they did the surgery to determine HOW MUCH of his enlarged prostate to remove.
Not only is this crystal clear from an INFORMED view of objective facts, I went thru this exactly with my Dad 20 years ago, when he was in his mid 70's.
Enlarged prostate. Surgery to remove part of it(they call it shaving the prostate) biopsy to check for cancer on the removed tissue and a continuation of his PSA testing after that, which he'd been having every year after reaching 70 until he was well into his 80's.
This is because he still had a life expectancy of greater than 10 years, even past 80-and he lived to 99..........so the urologist continues to assume that prostate cancer can potentially kill him, even if it takes 10 years, faster than something else.

Where are Joe Biden's records from his urologist???
This would totally clear up everything up with the DEFINITIVE records from the ultra expert that was treating him for his prostate issues.
There is a 100.000% chance that he was being treated by a urologist for years if he had an enlarged prostate that ended up with surgery and meds.
Who do we think did the surgery in 2019?
Why do you think they have never released any of these records???
I speculate that its because that surgery was more than just to remove parts of his overgrown prostate and even if thats what it initially was for, the biopsy must have showed cancer in 2019.
It's absurd to think somebody that was having surgery on their prostate, just for it being overgrown would not also have had their PSA checked with blood work and that would not continue to have their PSA checked.
The facts suggest that Biden has been getting treated for prostate cancer since 2019 and they are not releasing any of the information from his urologist.
As they said, this cancer is hormone sensitive so the effective treatment is to shut down his testosterone.
Guess what the biggest side effect to shutting down his testosterone is?
Exactly the cognitive losses/confusion that we've seen him having since 2019.
https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC9789006/
Epidemiological studies of middle-aged and older men have demonstrated associations of lower testosterone concentrations with higher prevalence and incidence of cognitive decline and dementia, including Alzheimer’s disease
You’re not his doctor making the decision.
Hey Larry, the only way that makes sense as a defense argument is if you are completely ignoring all the medical facts that I've carefully laid out, along with the rock solid explanations.
As if we are supposed to trust what he says his doctors say or what they said (like a year ago, when his doctor reported that he had no need for a cognitive test and his Alzheimer's gait was from arthritis in his spine-do you believe that, Larry?).
I provided many pages worth and you're defense is "you've not his doctor"
I have stated numerous times that it would be great to actually see what his urologist stated and what his urologist did and see the tests that they did and see the results of the biopsy they did in 2019 (with 100.000% certainty). And see the results of the PSA testa that his urologist almost certainly did.
There can only be 1 explanation for why Biden has not showed us the records from his urologist.
If they "suddenly" popped up now, 6 years later I wouldn't trust them since they will only show things that indicated favorable health or things that doctors adjusted to show that.
Just the fact that they insisted there was no PSA test since 2014 tells us with certainty that they are covering up what the urologist found.
A person in his position and life expectancy in 2019(at least 10 years) and an enlarged prostate(getting surgery) would almost always have PSA testing.
One of the most fascinating elements to this is the fact that it also explains why joe Biden's cognitive health dropped off a cliff in 2020.
Last we saw him in early 2017 as VP, he was very sharp and nobody questioned it.
Suddenly, in just 3 years his mental sharpness and cognitive skills plunged as much as most people would expect over a decade+.
Granted, everybody ages at a different rate and we all have been assuming that this was just Joe Biden, succumbing to an early and rapid onset of an Alzheimers type disease impacting his brain.
Regardless of the cause, it's indisputable that it suddenly and unexpectedly happened between 2017 and 2020.
What also happened, apparently is that they started treating Joe Biden for prostate cancer in 2019, after his prostate surgery and biopsy(with results never revealed).
It's the type of prostate cancer that's hormone sensitive so the definitive treatment is to shut down the testosterone feeding it.
I know a few things about testosterone hormone therapy and the symptoms of extremely low testosterone since since my disease has shut down much of my endocrine system and I'm taking synthetic versions of numerous hormones to stay alive the past decade.......including testosterone.
The treatment for Joe Biden's prostate cancer has been to shut down his testosterone.
We were all shocked to see a different Joe Biden in 2020 because he was experiencing the symptoms of rock bottom testosterone used to shut down the fuel for the cancer to grow.
Reducing testosterone levels, a common side effect of hormone therapy for prostate cancer, can lead to various symptoms, including cognitive changes like difficulty concentrating, memory problems, and even confusion or brain fog.
Can hormone therapy for prostate cancer cause dementia?
AI Overview
Yes, there is some evidence suggesting a link between hormone therapy for prostate cancer and an increased risk of dementia.

This is the only thing that makes sense based on all the facts we have about Joe Biden since 2019.
And since they are lying about the PSA tests and won't show the extensive records from his urologist, procedure and meds, it strongly bolsters confidence in this very educated but speculative assessment.
