(Wilmington, DE) – The 46th President is revealing that he has been diagnosed with prostate cancer. Biden’s personal office made a statement on Sunday, disclosing he was diagnosed on Friday with Grade 5 prostate cancer that has metastasized to the bones. The level of cancer meaning it is more likely to grow and spread further.
