I had been diagnosed with prostate cancer. Caught it early and was treated with radiation beam therapy with great success. I have been cancer free since 2018. Side effects have been manageable but annoying, still better than cancer . Scary stuff ! I caught it at level 1.

My dad was diagnosed with prostate cancer in his eighties. He had 46 radiation treatments and hormone therapy and did great. He was a school crossing guard and never missed a days work through it all. Pres Biden is tough like my dad-he can pull through. Prayers for you Pres. Biden!

My husband was given the same diagnosis at age 75. His Gleason score was 8. He was treated with radiation and hormone therapy. He remissioned well. However the side effects of the treatment caused a number of other problems including severe bladder and bowel bleeding. He ultimately succumbed 6 years after treatment. I wish the best for the Biden family ❤
