President Donald Trump released a statement expressing his well wishes to President Joe Biden following Biden’s recent prostate cancer diagnosis.
"Melania and I are saddened to hear about Joe Biden’s recent medical diagnosis," Trump said. "We extend our warmest and best wishes to Jill and the family, and we wish Joe a fast and successful recovery."
Biden, 82, was diagnosed with an aggressive form of prostate cancer that has metastasized to the bone. However, his office stated that the cancer is hormone-sensitive, allowing for effective management. The President and his family are reviewing treatment options with his physicians.
