Biden diagnosed with ‘aggressive form’ of prostate cancer

[Hatuey]

Your link doesn't say that though. I've seen a number - including the one provided by Hatuey - that talk about prostate cancer generally being one of the slowest growing types.

Again - not trying to create a fight. Pointing out a clear inconsistency here that experts in the media have also noted.


"MAGA" is a straw man of the left, so I can't speak to that. And no need for the hyperbolic language. It IS however, becoming increasingly clear that Biden was in no shape to continue in his role another four years, and that he and those close to him were lying.

What type of prostate cancer does Joe Biden have?

 

[Cope]

Well, that sounds very bad. I wish him the best in getting whatever treatment he needs.

What hope do the rest of the regular Joe's have if the most powerful person on the planet can get, and not know, with the best treatments and doctors available to them?

 

[Gatsby]

That sucks but I don't care about Biden any more than I do any other stranger. Why would those of you that are making a big deal out of this?d

Vice-signaling is so edgy. Super cool!

If JFK Jr gets cancer, I hope you remember blaming him for his wife's suicide when you are taking the high road and wishing him well.

JFK, Jr. and his wife died quite some time ago in a plane crash. I believe you meant RFK, Jr. I have no idea what you mean otherwise unless you think that if I have criticized him for his philandering and its consequences, I'm going to feel guilty and hypocritical for wishing him well in his cancer recovery. Weird. And I won't.

 

[nota bene]

That’s what people are criticizing here, though.

You make fun of Biden for being an old man, make up conspiracy theories about him and his son, relentlessly harp on all these lies to hurt him, and then he gets cancer and then *boom* it’s suddenly take the high road.

You can’t spit in someone’s face, shit on their life’s work, and then turn around and pretend you’re on the high road. Nobody has to buy that bullshit and it does no favors to placate a delusional sense of self.

You’re right, there are real problems in this world, real horrible things that happen. Maybe the next time there’s a partisan shit-slinging contest about, say, the medicaid cuts, you try to find that high road there, where it counts for something more than your ego.

Find one post in which I've made fun of the former President for anything. Go ahead--try to find one. No, better suggestion is that you address ugly and untruthful accusations to somebody else, a "you" who has spit in Biden's face and crapped on his life's work.

 

[Absentglare]

It’s like this grandstanding of sympathy feels like just another political play. And it makes me sick.

 

[Hatuey]

I believe you meant RFK, Jr. I have no idea what you mean

Sure. This you?

I wonder if his wife's [RFK Jr's] suicide by hanging will be brought up. He's now married to the hussy he was cheating with.

Oddly, you're focusing on the cheating. I say demonize ALL cheaters.

Is he gonna get a pass from high roading nota bene if he dies from cancer? Will nota bene demonize him for cheating on his wife if he gets hit by a thunderbolt? Or will the disagreements be purely political then?!?

Who knows amirite?

Never heard of that before;;;

Vice signaling refers to the act of boasting about negative behaviors or moral failings to gain acceptance or popularity within a specific social group.

Are you suggesting that is what I did?

It's interesting that so many are drawing the conclusion that people that are expressing sympathy from the "other political side" are disingenuous about it.

I do think it's possible that people may do things just to look compassionate, but I think assuming that about people is kind of awful. None of us know what's in the heart of another human, really.

And I believe mature people can have fierce disagreements and even act like monkeys at times. And when things go really south for another human, they can feel compassion in spite of the fact that they had been enemies at one point.

 

[cAPSLOCK]

The more I think about this situation and put together all the pieces, the severity of things, the timelines, the things that are being revealed, and the things that are kind of tacitly being revealed by just logic...

I kind of have a bad feeling. I wonder if time for Joe is shorter than we might expect even. Hopefully not.

 

[Hatuey]

@nota bene : Joe Biden is more evil than Trump. People who call Jill Biden by Dr are pathetic! Joe Biden isn't a real Catholic! Joe Biden is in a state of cognitive decline!

Also @nota bene when she finds out Joe Biden has cancer : My disageements with him are purely political!

High roading is the new both sides.

 

[dcsports]

I am not a physician, but it the cancer has spread to his bones so quickly, it's not a good prognosis.

That's my understanding as well. That indicates it is in the advanced stages, and has been growing for some time.

 

[cAPSLOCK]

Sure. This you?

You're thinking is so black and white. Why can't someone have both opinions? That someone's bad actions are bad and that someone's misfortunes are tragic?

Good people can be bad people too sometimes. I don't think any of us really are just one thing or another.

Also, there is this third possibility that comes if you can step out of black and white into the gray, and that is redemption. People can change. People might be deeper than you think.

 

[MAGAnificent]

Prayers for Joe Biden and his family. I hope he is able to beat this.

There is always some level of hope. When former President Carter was diagnosed with cancerous brain tumors in his 90s, it looked like a death sentence, yet he beat it and ultimately died of old age.

 

[cAPSLOCK]

I am not a physician, but it the cancer has spread to his bones so quickly, it's not a good prognosis.

Yes, and throw in the possibility that we're hearing this little later than they've known. It could be further advanced...

Yep. Going out of your way to insist that you don't care about someone's probably-terminal illness when no one asked, and implying that no one else should care either when no one asked, is a textbook example.

Nope. I wasn't boasting to gain acceptance or popularity.

My thinking is in HDR. It makes easy to spot a piece of shit and then use the cloning tool accordingly.

I had cancer at 20 and went through intermittent treatment for it until I was 37. Chemo is hard enough in youth; I can’t imagine doing it at 70+. It hammers the body, and it is no way to live. It is very much barbarism, and my heart goes out to anyone who must endure it.

I endured it at the age of 69 and 70. Everyone's experience is different. Lost my hair in the second week. The remaining five treatments went well, then radiation. Now at 71, I am just dealing with one of the side effects.

 

[Trumpetman]

Well, that sounds very bad. I wish him the best in getting whatever treatment he needs.

I’m sure he’s been getting it for the last five years.

 

[NOLA Dude]

Horrible news for Biden and hopefully he's not in pain, but there's no way they didn't know this diagnosis a few years ago considering it metastaticized to the bone.

 

[MAGAnificent]

I think that everybody should take the high road here.

Cancer isn't one-size-fits-all, and neither are its treatments and expectations. When my little sister was diagnosed with Stage IV pancreatic, it had already metastasized. She infuriated her VA doctors (some of whom were also on staff at Sloan-Kettering) by refusing anything but palliative treatment. She was gone 4 months later, and we were glad and so grateful. I still am. But breast cancers aren't always a death sentence; our baby sister is a 15+ year survivor. Prostate cancer isn't necessarily one either, but metastasis is what it is.

Only insiders knew that the late Queen Elizabeth II had been suffering from bone cancer for a year or so. All that was said publicly was that Her Majesty was suffering from "mobility issues." Maybe the Biden situation is similar? I do find difficult to believe that a sitting President wouldn't have routine physicals, but it's his private medical information and his spouse's duty to be protective of that and of him. Why is this information being released?

So sorry about your sister. At stage 4, I would not have blamed her for accepting only palliative care. I lost my sister to complications of stage 4 breast cancer in 2011.

If it actually started in the prostate, then yes, that's absolutely the case.

No, my link does say that.

Here it is again:

How fast does aggressive prostate cancer grow?​

There’s no single timeline, but aggressive prostate cancer progresses in the body rapidly. This tendency is in stark contrast to traditional adenocarcinomas of the prostate gland, which tend to progress very slowly for years.

Aggressive Prostate Cancer: What it is and How It’s Treated

Aggressive prostate cancer is a subtype that grows quickly and may possibly be resistant to hormone therapies. Here's what to know.
