Former U.S. President Joe Biden has publicly expressed gratitude to supporters following his recent diagnosis with aggressive prostate cancer that has reportedly spread to his bones.
In a heartfelt message posted on Instagram, Biden, 82, acknowledged the widespread support he and his wife, Jill, have received since the news broke.
“Cancer touches us all. Like so many of you, Jill and I have learned that we are strongest in the broken places. Thank you for lifting us up with love and support,” he wrote.
Medical sources revealed that the diagnosis followed concerns over urinary symptoms. A subsequent medical examination uncovered a nodule on his prostate, which led to further testing and confirmation of the cancer’s severity.
The former president’s health update has prompted an outpouring of messages from political figures, world leaders, and supporters across the globe.
Biden, who served as the 46th President of the United States from 2021 to 2025, has previously spoken about the loss of his son Beau to brain cancer, and has been an advocate for cancer research and awareness.
While further details about his treatment plan have not been made public, observers anticipate that Biden will remain active in public life as he manages the condition.
More updates are expected in the coming days as his medical team monitors his progress.
