When many from all over the political spectrum supported the former U.S. President, one person who joined the conversation surprising many and caused a lot of unbelief was the most noticeable.
Joe Biden’s office confirmed on May 18, 2025, that he has prostate cancer and this information was widely talked about online. The statement pointed out that Biden visited a doctor after noticing urinary symptoms.
Reading the test results, doctors found that the patient has cancer which is aggressive, affects the bones and its Gleason score is 9 (Grade Group 5).
Having a serious diagnosis, the cancer is also hormone-sensitive, so it can be treated by medicine. After that, on May 19, President Donald Trump posted about it on Truth Social. He wrote in the post, “We hear the news of Joe Biden’s health issue with sadness.” We are sending our best and sincere hopes to Jill and the family and wishing Joe a fast and complete recovery.
Following Trump’s statement, lots of social media users expressed doubt and amazement about the message he conveyed.
One Instagram post said, “He didn’t write that.” A different comment said, “Trump did not write this post.” PERIOD!” Another comment wrote, “Have you heard from Trump today?” What did you do after that?
Furthermore, politicians kept suggesting the message was not genuine. I wonder who takes this message seriously. One person doubted, as another suggested, “It’s impossible he wrote it.”
The way the statement was delivered made some people a little taken aback. I’m surprised he revealed any news like this. According to one comment. Readers responded with, “Wow, this is cool since there are no mean comments.” I’m confident he didn’t compose it himself.
After Biden revealed he has prostate cancer, leaders and medical experts from across the US have voiced their thoughts.
Former Vice President Kamala Harris recently took time to support George on Instagram.
In a statement, she said, “Doug and I are heartbroken to hear that President Biden has prostate cancer.” Everyone is keeping Dr. Biden, him and their entire family in our thoughts and prayers right now. Joe always fights hard and I’m sure he will approach this struggle with the strength, toughness and happy attitude that have marked his entire life. We are confident that he will make a full and quick recovery.”
Former President Obama also praised Biden for his work in cancer research during his time as senator.

He said, “My thoughts go to Michelle and the entire Biden family. Nobody has made bigger contributions towards treating all forms of cancer than Joe and I am sure he will approach this new fight in his usual determined and elegant manner. We are praying for a prompt and complete recovery.”
Experts with medical experience have commented on the issue. Dr. The BBC spoke to William Dahut, Chief Scientific Officer of the American Cancer Society, about blood cancer.
Koenig said that Biden’s cancer was serious and advanced, showing how far it had grown. If someone has cancer in their bones, we often don’t think it can be cured, he said.
Many patients, Dr. Dahut pointed out, live for years after receiving a diagnosis of lung cancer. He said that hormone treatments help relieve symptoms and prevent the condition from advancing faster.
This is a third time that Biden has dealt with cancer. A recent March 2023 report by NBC News says a lesion removed from Biden’s chest was diagnosed as basal cell carcinoma during a routine physical.
At that time, the White House physician Dr. Kevin O’Connor stated that all cancerous material had been removed and further treatment was not necessary.
As responses keep coming, Joe Biden is in discussions with his medical team about the best way to proceed. The thought now is how his illness is managed and how people everywhere follow examples from leaders and fellow citizens.
