Description
Former President Joe Biden on Monday gave his first public statement after being diagnosed with an 'aggressive' form of prostate cancer.
"Cancer touches us all. Like so many of you, Jill and I have learned that we are strongest in the broken places," Biden wrote on X. "Thank you for lifting us up with love and support."
The post was accompanied by a photo of Biden, his wife Jill and their cat Willow.
Biden, 82, was diagnosed days after a spokesperson confirmed that a nodule was discovered on his prostate during a routine physical.
He was officially diagnosed with prostate cancer Friday, with the cancer cells having spread "to the bone." His office gave details about the diagnosis Sunday.
