Former President Joe Biden on Monday morning released his first statement about his cancer diagnosis.
“Cancer touches us all,” Biden wrote in a post on X, alongside a photo of himself with former first lady Jill Biden and a gray cat. “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.”
Biden’s statement comes the day after his office revealed that he was diagnosed with an “aggressive form” of prostate cancer on Friday. The cancer, which has spread to Biden’s bones, “appears to be hormone-sensitive which allows for effective management,” his office said.
The 82-year-old and his family are “reviewing treatment options with his physicians,” his office said.
