Ashley Biden, daughter of Joe Biden, has issued an update from hospital relating to her father\u2019s treatment for cancer.<\/p>\n
In May of this year, the former POTUS announced that he had been diagnosed with an \u201caggressive\u201d form of prostate cancer, revealing at the time that he was pursuing several treatment options.<\/p>\n
The discovery was reportedly made after the 82-year-old reported urinary symptoms, leading to doctors finding a small nodule on his prostate.<\/p>\n
\u201cLast week, President Joe Biden was seen for a new finding of a prostate nodule after experiencing increasing urinary symptoms,\u201d Biden\u2019s office said in a statement.<\/p>\n
\u201cOn Friday, he was diagnosed with prostate cancer, characterised by a Gleason score of 9 (Grade Group 5) with metastasis to the bone.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhile this represents a more aggressive form of the disease, the cancer appears to be hormone-sensitive which allows for effective management.\u201d<\/p>\n
