Diagnosed with aggressive prostate cancer.
Given his age, he likely won't last long. The surgery would be risky at his age. 1poorMIL has kidney cancer, but hers is very slow. The urologist says she'll likely die of old age before the cancer gets her, so it isn't worth risking surgery. With aggressive cancer, Biden probably has to risk the surgery, but it will be hard on him.

Given his age, he likely won't last long. The surgery would be risky at his age. According to the NYT, Biden’s cancer is hormone-sensitive “characterized by a Gleason score of 9 (Grade Group 5) with metastasis to the bone.” Surgery would be contraindicated. More than likely, he will have triplet therapy: Androgen deprivation therapy (ADT), Chemotherapy (docetaxel), and an Androgen receptor pathway inhibitor (ARPI) plus zoledronic acid to promote bone health.
Even at his age, he could easily live several more years with this treatment plan.

Trump wishes Biden "fast and successful recovery" after prostate cancer diagnosisFrom CNN’s Kit Maher
President Donald Trump wished former President Joe Biden a speedy and successful recovery after he was diagnosed with an “aggressive form” of prostate cancer.
“Melania and I are saddened to hear about Joe Biden’s recent medical diagnosis. We extend our warmest and best wishes to Jill and the family, and we wish Joe a fast and successful recovery,” Trump posted on Truth Social.
The brief statement marks an expression of empathy for Biden, someone Trump has continued to criticize and accuse of cognitive decline, even after he dropped out of the 2024 race against him.
• Donald Trump Jr. reshared a post that read, “Politics aside, we wish him a speedy recovery!” Trump Jr. wrote, “Agreed 100%.”
• Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, a close MAGA ally to Trump, wrote on Twitter, “Cancer is truly awful. My Dad passed away in 2021 with cancer. Prays for Joe Biden and his family.”https://www.cnn.com/politics/live-news/trump-presi...

How did they not catch this sooner? It's not like a President and Senator has to skip the yearly check up because they can't afford the freaking co-pay

They don't do medical checkups every month.
Already stated this is a fast-moving cancer, so it could have begun while he was in office. At least Biden sees real doctors for real healthcare and treatment.
Spankee does not.

Dear Don:
Her “Doctorate” is in education. The word “Doctor” doesn’t just apply to people who say “Open your mouth and say ‘Ahhh’”. Martin Luther King Jr had a Doctorate (Systemic Theology), as does Brian May, guitarist for Queen (Astrophysics). Also Shaq O’Neill (Education) and Rachael Maddow (Philosophy).
And for the record, cancer stages are graded 0 to 4. You’re 0 for 2 in a single tweet, which considering your usual level of accuracy is about typical.

Like father, like son. Yesterday Mad King Donald claimed that former president Biden's prostate cancer is "grade nine". Twice.
Of course, he also claimed yesterday that countries in the Middle East "gave us a nice contribution of about $5 trillion" thanks to him.
<checks notes> Out entire GDP is about $30 trillion.
Funny, isn't it though, that the MSM aren't writing front page articles on Mad King Donald's cognitive impairment... just stories about a guy who will never run for office again.

And here's daddy Trump yesterday: “I think it’s very sad, actually, I’m surprised the public wasn’t notified a long time ago, because to get to Stage 9, that’s a long time."
Gleason score of 9, not stage 9, doh! Gleason 9 is bad.
How could Biden's cancer have reached stage 4? The CDC does not recommend prostate cancer screening for men over 70. It can lead to overtreatment, since most men who live long enough die with prostate cancer, not of prostate cancer. In Biden's case it looks like screening earlier would have helped.
I would have expected them to run a PSA test as part of his regular blood work. PSA not super reliable, though, as I know from personal experience.

That’s right. It’s been a running joke in right wing circles for years.
They covered up his cancer diagnosis like they covered up his senility - for years. The d’s think they can drown out the questions about Biden’s mental decline and their role in covering it up and lying about it…but this just makes it worse.
