Former President Joe Biden is currently undergoing radiation therapy as part of his treatment for prostate cancer. This treatment, reported to last about five weeks, was described in detail by Fox News. A spokesperson for Biden mentioned, “As part of a treatment plan for prostate cancer, President Biden is currently undergoing radiation therapy and hormone treatment.” Biden has reportedly been taking hormone medication in pill form prior to this announcement.
In May, the president’s office revealed that he had been diagnosed with an aggressive form of prostate cancer that had already spread to his bones. This raised eyebrows among medical professionals and the public alike, leading to questions about how long the Biden administration was aware of the severity of his health issues. Many doctors speculate that Biden may have lived with this cancer for several years before the diagnosis was made public.
The situation is complicated further by ongoing allegations regarding the management of Biden’s health concerns. Dr. Kevin O’Connor, Biden’s physician, has come under scrutiny, particularly from House Oversight Chairman James Comer. Comer has suggested that O’Connor was part of a “conspiracy to cover up President Biden’s cognitive decline.” Allegations persist that O’Connor knew about Biden’s prostate cancer diagnosis long before it became public knowledge, especially after he refused to testify and invoked the 5th Amendment during his deposition.
This pattern of withholding information about Biden’s health isn’t new. In addition to the prostate cancer diagnosis, reports indicate that Biden has been treated for skin cancer recently, raising further questions about transparency. With a recent appearance showing a significant gash on his head, the administration has faced challenges in presenting a clear and honest narrative about the president’s health.
The implications of these health issues extend beyond the personal realm into the political. Biden’s age and health are under constant scrutiny, and the question of public trust looms large. As he continues his cancer treatment, many will be watching closely, eager for updates on both his health and how his administration will handle ongoing challenges of transparency.
