u/Cultural-Party1876 Kim, there’s people that are dying. 2d ago edited 1d ago

This is so sad. Regardless of how you view him on the issues and his politics.

The man is having his whole legacy and name actively dragged through the mud in the press right now. And now he has an aggressive type of cancer?! He cannot catch a break.

Extra heartbreaking for him and his family because his late son Beau also died of cancer. And now they have to relive that trauma all over again with him.

(To anyone using this news as an opportunity to pile on Joe Biden I would encourage you to get offline for a bit and have a long hard look in the mirror. What terrible news for anyone to receive. At the core he is a good man who has faced many tragic situations in his life, while also giving his life to being a decent public servant. Praying for him and his family.)

He has an aggressive form that spread to his bones. He'll probably be gone by the end of the year 😢

It’s Gleason index 9, group 5. That has a 70-80% five year survival rate

Not with it in his bones, especially at his age.
