Jill and Joe Biden are going through one of the toughest phases of their lives. Just days ago, the former president was diagnosed with stage 4 cancer, and despite the outburst of love and prayers they have received, one prominent voice is now criticizing Jill for “elder abuse.”
The Bidens have been through a lot together, but they are now facing trying times indeed following Joe’s diagnoses of aggressive prostate cancer that has already spread to his bones.
The statement officially came from the 82-year-old’s office earlier this month, with Biden having received his diagnosis some days earlier, having visited a doctor for urinary symptoms. One urologist has claimed that Biden may have had cancer for a long time.
The cancer Joe Biden has been diagnosed with is reportedly a more aggressive form of the disease. On the Gleason score, it has 9 out of 10, meaning it’s classified as “high grade.” As per Cancer Research UK, the cancer cells could spread quickly. Yet while the cancer is aggressive, Biden’s office stated that it was hormone-sensitive, which means it can possibly be managed.
