Former US President Joe Biden has expressed heartfelt gratitude for the global outpouring of support following his announcement of advanced prostate cancer. At 81, Biden revealed that the aggressive form of cancer has spread to his bones, but described it as hormone-sensitive, which offers hope for effective treatment.
“Like so many of you, Jill and I have learned that we are strongest in the broken places,” Biden wrote on social media, highlighting his resilience amid the difficult news. King Charles III, who is also undergoing cancer treatment, sent a private letter of encouragement, symbolizing solidarity between the leaders.

The diagnosis has reignited debate about Biden’s health transparency during his presidency, with critics including former President Donald Trump and Vice-President JD Vance questioning whether the public was adequately informed. Meanwhile, a forthcoming book alleges the Biden team attempted to downplay his health issues, further fueling scrutiny.
Despite the controversy, prominent figures such as Barack Obama and Kamala Harris have offered their support, standing united with Biden and his family. His diagnosis draws attention to the challenges many face with late-stage cancer detection, reminding the world of the human strength in adversity.
