Breaking: Biden announces he has cancer

[Bobcat]

Disgusting

Oh and bombing Serbia was disgusting too

[BDKJMU]

And Baghdad Bobbette Goebells is the biggest lying propagandist this country has ever seen. Biden could have literally been comatose drooling in his sundae and she would have laughed off any question insisting he was fine. Sharp as a tack.

An elderly man with the best health care in the world with a very advanced stage of a slow moving cancer. Of the last 4 POTUS, 3 of them had their PSA score listed in their physicals. The only one who didn’t? Biden. That tells you all you need to know right there that this was a coverup. All these medical experts (not just conks either, but ones on CNN, MSDNC, etc) are saying the cancer would have been there for years, even up to a decade. Maybe it will come out when he was 1st diagnosed. 2020? 2021? 2022? 2023? Had to have known long before he dropped out 10 months ago. If he had dropped out late 2023 the donks could have had a real primary with a much better chance of beating Trump. In that regards, thanks Biden and to all you donks who covered this up, helping Trumps 2024 chances bigly. If I was a TDS/lib/donk I‘d be furious at Biden and those who covered up both the dementia and cancer.

I don't understand why they would coverup prostate cancer - for men, it's probably the most prevalent cancer and for most, it's relatively easy to treat if caught early enough. Why would you need to coverup prostate cancer? I don't see that being an issue that would swing an election. Dementia and diminished mental capability? Sure. But prostate cancer? Nah.

If he was taking chemo for the cancer, it would have diminished his already weak mental faculties. It's why they call it "chemo brain".

Is chemo a normal step in prostate cancer treatment? I thought they either control it with hormones or they go in there and cut it out.

Typical progression is surveillance, radiation therapy and/or prostatectomy, hormone therapy and lastly chemotherapy.

It's somewhat of a guessing game in that they won't remove the prostate if they believe the person has a chance to live long enough before the cancer gets them. Diapers are hell.

On a side note, prostate pathology is ridiculous. Sometimes they will collect eight samples (needle biopsy) of the prostate. Gotta make sure you collect all around that little doughnut to ensure you catch the cancer. Honestly kind of a "luck" procedure. You can take all those sample and still miss the cancer.

Lovely, something to look forward to as I age. At least right now I don't think I have any symptoms. I'm getting a PSA in a week or so for something else, so kind of an early look. Like I said, I don't have anything to worry about other than being on the older side of 50, but still something to think about.
