Political world reacts to former President Biden's 'aggressive' cancer diagnosis: 'Incredibly difficult'

Sympathetic messages rolled in from across the country after former President Joe Biden's team announced that the 82-year-old was diagnosed with an "aggressive" form of prostate cancer.

In a statement, Biden's team said that the former politician "was seen for a new finding of a prostate nodule after experiencing increasing urinary symptoms."

 "On Friday, he was diagnosed with prostate cancer, characterized by a Gleason score of 9 (Grade Group 5) with metastasis to the bone," the statement added.
