Over the weekend, the news broke that Biden has been diagnosed with stage 4 prostate cancer.
First and foremost, our prayers for President Biden and his family.
For those of you who don’t know, this type of diagnosis is very difficult for the patient and their family, especially as they try to understand their diagnosis and treatment options.

Prostate cancer is common. This year approximately 315,000 men will be diagnosed, with 35,000 prostate cancer deaths. On rare occasions, men do have a low PSA with advanced prostate cancer.
