Former President Joe Biden has been diagnosed with aggressive prostate cancer that has since spread to his bones, according to a statement from his office on Sunday.
Considering how advanced the cancer is, the family is reviewing treatment options.
“Last week, President Joe Biden was seen for a new finding of a prostate nodule after experiencing increasing urinary symptoms.
“On Friday, he was diagnosed with prostate cancer, characterised by a Gleason score of 9 (Grade Group 5) with metastasis to the bone,” the statement read.
“While this represents a more aggressive form of the disease, the cancer appears to be hormone-sensitive which allows for effective management.”
Once the news spread, messages of support came pouring in.
President Donald Trump was among those who expressed their sadness about Biden’s recent medical diagnosis.
Trump’s eldest son, Donald Trump Jr., however, wasn’t as sympathetic — on the contrary, he made a comment about Biden’s cancer diagnosis that enraged many.
“What I want to know is how did Dr. Jill Biden miss stage five metastatic cancer or is this yet another coverup???” Donald Trump Jr. wrote.
Further, Trump Jr., who serves as a trustee and executive VP of the Trump Organization, agreed with a comment “without question” that stated Biden was “running the country as a vegetable under the rug.”
As expected, social media quickly responded with criticism of his remarks.
“Mocking a man’s cancer and blaming his wife, who’s not even a medical doctor, shows just how low and shallow he is. ‘Stage five’? It’s Grade Group 5, boneh**d,” someone wrote.
“This isn’t politics. It’s cruelty. Ugly, dumb, and vile. Nothing else to call it,” another person added.
A third person accused Don Jr.” accused Don Jr of ‘”shameless opportunism dressed up as patriotism.”

Democrat campaigner, Harry Sisson, also slammed Trump’s son.
“Donald Trump Jr. just made fun of President Biden’s cancer diagnosis. This is where we’re at in American politics. Trump Jr. is a pathetic, reprehensible conman who wouldn’t know decency if it smacked him in the face. Shame on him,” he wrote.
Hours before his comment, Don Jr. shared an image that read, “BREAKING: Joe Biden has been diagnosed with prostate cancer. Politics aside, we wish him a speedy recovery!” He captioned his post, “Agreed 100%.”
