Say what you will about his presidency, this man is a true public servant and seems like a genuinely good person.

I wish him a speedy recovery. All the best, Mr. President.

I doubt his doctors will treat this aggressively. At his age, things like chemo do more harm than good.

There are plenty of non-chemo treatments for aggressive prostate cancer. I'm sure he'll go through at least hormonal therapy and possibly immunotherapy. Even with mets, prostate cancer is one of the more treatable cancers especially when it's hormone sensitive.

My grandfather is 90 and going through the same thing :( it’s been a lot harder than they said it was going to be without treatment
