The previous US president made the announcement on Sunday night (18 May).
Biden’s doctors confirmed on Sunday (18 May) that he is undergoing treatment for prostate cancer.
The statement from his office confirmed that Joe Biden, aged 82, suffered from an aggressive type of cancer.
President Biden was checked last week due to a prostate nodule being found during a test for increased urination.
On that day, the doctor found that he had prostate cancer, scored as a Gleason 9 and Grade Group 5 with bone metastasis.
The remaining portion says: “Even though this is a more serious type of cancer, it is sensitive to hormones, meaning doctors can handle it with success.”
The president and his family are getting input from his doctors to decide on a treatment.
According to Cancer Research UK, if the Gleason score is nine, the cancer cells appear very irregular.
It also implies the disease may start to grow at a fast rate.
Michelle and I are concerned by the news of Joe Biden’s health challenge.
We are sending all our love and good wishes to Jill and the family and hope Joe recovers quickly.
However, Donald Trump Jr. responded differently to the news and has since been criticized online for his ‘unacceptable’ comment on Biden’s aggressive prostate cancer.
Shortly after the announcement, Trump Jr. added an image and captioned it: “BREAKING: Joe Biden is in the midst of treatment for prostate cancer.” We hope for a quick recovery for him despite the fact that he is in politics! I can agree one hundred percent.
He added a screenshot of a tweet from another doctor suggesting when and how Biden received his diagnosis.
Trump Jr added the following message to the screenshot: “What I can’t understand is if Dr. Jill Biden missed a stage five cancer diagnosis or if this incident is another example of a coverup?”
Soon enough, many were pointing out that Trump Jr’s comment was unbecoming, with a X user tweeting: “Jill Biden holds a doctorate in Educational Leadership from the University of Delaware.” She has not asserted that she is a Doctor in the field of medical practice.
Hit out a second user: “Disgraceful!”
A fourth person tweeted: “Grok, could you let this person know that she is not a medical doctor.” Held the reply to nathan20002 and always include his @ so that it goes straight to him.
Elon Musk’s bot then said: “Just to confirm, Jill Biden earned an Ed.D. in Education, not in medicine.” Since she is just an educator, she is not qualified to assess or improve conditions such as prostate cancer.
Even though she is called Dr. due to her academic record, there are still some arguments against using the title in areas other than medicine.
Tyla has tried to get a response from President Joe Biden’s office.
