Former US President Joe Biden has been diagnosed with an aggressive form of prostate cancer, and he may have 12 to 18 months to live. This was announced by former White House doctor, Republican Congressman Ronnie Jackson.
What had happened?
On May 18 of this year, Biden's press secretary confirmed that the diagnosis made by Biden was true and emphasized that the disease could be treated.
However, according to Jackson, although there is hope for successful treatment, the prognosis remains alarming.
"This is not my specialty, but since it became known, I have talked to many urologists, and they all agreed that he could live from 12 to 18 months. I hope there will be more time and I believe they will be able to effectively treat this disease. He will live many more years. But this is a very advanced disease," says Ronnie Jackson.
Since when has Biden been fighting the disease?
Earlier, oncologist Ezekiel Emanuel suggested that the development of the disease may have begun at the beginning of Biden's presidential term in 2021.
These statements intensified public suspicions that the politician's real health might have been hidden. It is particularly noteworthy that the White House's medical report for February 2024 stated that there were no problems with the prostate gland, on the contrary, Biden's health was "good."
For information, the former head of the White House is now 82 years old. In 2024, he was forced to withdraw from the presidential race at a time when doubts about his physical and mental state were growing due to his frequent stuttering, forgetfulness, and public falls.
