00:00We are continuing to monitor breaking news out of the White House about former President Joe Biden.
00:05His office just revealed that the 46th president is diagnosed with an aggressive form of prostate cancer.
00:12Let's check back in with Madeline Rivera. She is live at the White House for us. Madeline.
00:18Hey, John. So, yes, we just got this information within the last half hour or so.
00:23So I do just want to read the statement from the personal office of former President Joe Biden.
00:27It says last week, President Joe Biden was seen for a new finding of a prostate nodule after experiencing increasing urinary symptoms.
00:36On Friday, he was diagnosed with prostate cancer characterized by a Gleason score of nine grade group five with metastasis to the bone.
00:44While this represents a more aggressive form of the disease, the cancer appears to be more hormone sensitive, which allows for effective management.
00:51The president and his family are reviewing treatment options with his physicians.
00:55So there have been a lot of headlines and concerns regarding the president's cognitive health.
00:59It was one of the reasons why he was pushed out of the presidential candidacy last year.
01:04But there have been very few headlines and concerns regarding the president's own physical health.
01:09In fact, I went back to see what the president's results were from his annual physical last year.
01:14And it said President Biden is a healthy, active, robust 81-year-old male who remains fit to successfully execute the duties of the presidency to include those as chief executive, head of state and commander in chief.
01:26So it is kind of shocking at this point.
01:29But the president, I've been thinking back to some of the activities that we've seen him do.
01:33This is a former president who was very active.
01:36We could see him go biking in Rehoboth Beach whenever he would go down there with his family.
01:40He was very physically fit and very active, at least for his age.
01:44So this is shocking news.
01:46Of course, we are waiting to hear more information.
01:49Now, of course, Biden, being the former president, will be afforded some of the best care in the country.
01:53But he is 82 years old.
01:55So there are understandably concerns about how his treatment may go as well.
02:00But I do want to refer to one part of that statement.
02:02Again, they say at this time that this cancer appears to be hormone sensitive, which allows for effective management.
02:08So there is that hope that the president will be able to withstand whatever treatment he does go through.
02:13But again, at this point, this statement says that this is an aggressive form of bone cancer.
02:19We are prostate cancer, rather.
02:21Excuse me.
02:22So we are waiting to hear more information that we could see come out of this news today.
02:26John.
02:26All right.
02:27Thanks very much.
02:28You got it.
