Biden has cancer.

You’d think we could coalesce as a board around this message. Fvck Cancer!
Perhaps the appropriate message this board could have rallied around is, “gosh cancer sucks. If a recently former president has it, we all could get it. Let’s put partisan politics aside and all get checked early and often”.

I’m really disappointed but I guess not completely surprised. What would it take for all of us to agree on something? That’s a rhetorical question.

Actually, I’ll go first. I’ve had two colonoscopies and neither were pleasant but I did it for myself and my family.
 
One of my friends from high school is a urologic oncologist at the Mayo client and he treated my dad when he had it 13 years ago. Did a great job. I asked him about the issue last night and this is what he wrote back:

1. Diagnosis: President Biden has been diagnosed with Gleason score 9 (Grade Group 5) prostate cancer — one of the most aggressive forms of the disease. While Gleason 10 is technically higher, Grade Group 5 is the highest category in current clinical grading.

2. Symptoms: He experienced urinary symptoms, which may have been due to benign prostatic enlargement (common with age) or related to a palpable prostate nodule.

3. Staging: Initial staging revealed that the cancer has metastasized to bone, indicating advanced disease.

What can reasonably be assumed:

• As a former U.S. president, he is almost certainly receiving top-tier medical care.

• Despite being over age 75 — the typical top end cutoff for routine PSA screening — it is highly likely he was still undergoing regular PSA testing.

One possible explanation for how this cancer evaded earlier detection is that older men are more prone to developing a subtype of aggressive prostate cancer known as dedifferentiated or poorly differentiated prostate cancer. These cancers bear little resemblance to normal prostate tissue and often produce minimal or no PSA, making them difficult to detect through standard blood tests.

Before drawing conclusions or assigning blame, it is important to allow more information to come to light. Based on my 20+ years treating prostate cancer, this clinical pattern is highly suggestive of a dedifferentiated variant, which behaves very differently from typical prostate cancer.
 
My daughter gets med infusions at the infusion center which is basically her and all kids with cancer. Spend four hours in there with these cancer kids and their families and it’s hard to believe in a god.
Children who die go to be with their Heavenly Father. It is us who are at the age of accountability who must repent and receive Christ as Savior. I have a grandson who has special needs. He was born and in fact in the womb had a brain that was seizing constantly. He had to have part of his brain removed when he was six months old spending six weeks in the hospital. It was the longest six weeks of my life and I went through Air Force basic training. Why did my grandson have to go through this? Why do children get cancer? It is because disease and death are part of this world . It isn't because God doesn't exist,it is because sin entered this world. It is why the healthiest person alive will eventually die. We are living in a world where man will fight and kill each other .We have thieves, liars, and mean spirited people. Just think about your school experience.How long did it take for you and I to realize this world is not a safe place where bullies exist and children will put each other down? By the end of kindergarten the class sizes up everyone and picks the winners and the losers.Much of life is just vulgure and wicked. It's why Jesus died on the Cross. He had to die so those who die can someday live with Him forgiven all their sins and having eternal life . One thing I look forward to in Heaven is to meet two of my children we never met. My wife and I had two miscarriages. My mother had a miscarriage a year before I was born. With all this disease, despair and death I am reminded Heaven won't be like this.

My dad kicked colon cancer (stage 4) and my wife appears to have kicked a very aggressive breast cancer after 18 months of treatment. She only needs to have her port removed after she returns from a visit with our daughter in Arizona and then doesn't need to go back to see the doctors for six months. By the way, she was clear on her mastectomy a little over a year before her cancer was caught. She was kicking herself for being over 15 months on her yearly mastectomy, but her doctor told her she very possibly would have been clear on that because that's how fast this cancer was.

Honestly surprised that it's already spread to his bones. I was unaware that prostate cancer could be that aggressive and spread that quickly.
My neighbor has something that seems quite similar. Aggressive prostate cancer that spread to his bones. He’s in pain a lot of the time and cannot sleep through the night. It’s seems pretty awful.

I got a call from my doctor's nurse while I was playing golf about the results of my colon cancer test (I don't recall the specific name of the test, but something like that, I'm sure) and that they wanted to schedule an appointment. I had my first colonoscopy a couple months later and I had 17 polyps removed, but none were cancerous. I had colonoscopies every two years for two cycles more and now I'm back on the regular cycle. Still cancer free, but they were concerned because of all the polyps and the fact that my father had had stage 4 colon cancer.

Needless to say, that call screwed up my golf game for the rest of the round.

I was diagnosed in spring of 2009. The local urologist wanted to do immediate surgery. We were committed to a European tandem trip and surgery would have caused a cancellation. Sought second opinion. Did my research and found Dr. Crawford ai CU med school. I called for an appointment, thinking I wouldn’t see Crawford, but perhaps a colleague. Turns out they scheduled me with him in about a week.

He said I had time and we did watchful waiting for a year. He did a saturation biopsy about a year later (95 samples). A few were cancer positive and one of those was Gleason score 8. Had radiation and still kicking it after 15 years. Had my first PSA last fall in five years and all is well.

Back to Dr, Crawford. A world famous guy, with an ego that matches his credentials. But he knows what he’s doing. If anyone is interested, follow the links about his mapping biopsy procedure. Interesting stuff.


Interesting tid bit. When I met with the radiation oncologist resident, he said something like “I remember you, we discussed your case in a meeting.” The med-school urologic oncology dept. meets and discusses cases. Included are pathologists, internists, surgeons, radiologists and their residents. . My case had a couple of wrinkles so Crawford must have presented it.

Yeah, well your friend may be a urology oncologist who obviously has decades of practicing in this specific field at one of the best medical facilities in the nation/world, but has he reviewed some of the twitter commentary shared on this thread?

Your friend's rational and reasoned response doesn't sound at all what tweeters like catturd are telling us about the Biden crime family.

Prostate cancer is tough. I had my first DRE 3 years ago, and I definitely felt like Fletch

Tell me you know nothing about American history without saying you know nothing of American history.
No I think it’s up there. I can’t think of a bigger one in my lifetime.

I have a minor in history Bach in poly sci mpa and law degree. In my view this is the biggest fraud perpetrated on the public. It’s election fraud. It was an ongoing fraud for years. It’s that bad

You look at the hur report and what we saw who was making decisions.

Greatest political scandal in American history.


Who knows. This was such a dishonest administration. And now this the day of the book release. You really can’t believe anything from Biden jill and their entire crowd
No you cannot so who really knows what the truth is or is not. You would think it would have been found long before it advanced this far given the level of medical care a president would get. But what do I know I will leave that up to the water cooler experts.

If Biden was elected President in 2024, I'd probably agree. However, the scandals Nixon were involved in regarding the Vietnam War and then culminating in Watergate were the biggest in my lifetime.

No that’s not the point. Again you missed it. You keep trying to pretend he was okay DURING his term. He was mushy peas during his presidency. The hur report is damning. I think he was insulated going back to 2019

Again I stand by this being the biggest fraud. The country was duped. For years. He was unfit. As president.

I'm not pretending. It's my opinion that he was still capable though diminished and would not be capable at some point during a second term should he manage to be reelected. That's why I said before the Democratic primaries that Biden should announce he's not running. Your opinion was that he wasn't capable during the first term. We have different opinions, simple as that.

There’s a reason he was sequestered. His handlers didn’t want people to see him. To allow him to answer questions. If you can’t answer questions you are not fit to be president

It was a concerted effort to deceive the public

I read the report. My opinion was informed by all I saw and have read. Of course, it was also clear that the WH, campaign and Democratic politicians were doing their best to hide his decline from the public. They ultimately failed.
 
Good luck finding someone that fits that description.
What the **** is wrong with us.
It’s hard but you have to parse out what matters to you. This last election after Covid insanity and defund and bail projects and open border and endless free cheese it was a no brainer for me. Pubs for every office.

When things were calm tort reform was a big threat to my world. Voted Dems
 
I remember Joe Biden campaigning in 2020 on transparency on a wide variety of issues making it a pillar of his platform and including a promise of full transparency in relation to his health. It's becoming more and more evident in the aftermath of his term, even to those blinded by partisan politics, that he was anything but transparent.


 
At his age, he won’t die from prostrate cancer!

Lucy, 16 years ago the head of the urology department at a renown hospital told me I wouldn't die of cancer following a somewhat high PSA reading.

Purely by chance during a conversation with a resident urology doctor at my hospital the idea of getting a second opinion entered my mind.

To make a long story short I discovered the prevailing opinion held by many urologists that almost all prostate cancers are slow growing and a patient in say his 70s will die of something else isn't always the case.
