A fresh proclamation from ex-President Joe Biden’s office reported his encounter with an ‘aggressive’ type of prostate cancer, which has regrettably trespassed his bones. As if this administration hasn’t already displayed enough aggression, between their damaging policy decisions and troubling leadership style, it seems a fitting, albeit unfortunate, development.
This variant of cancer, thankfully, displays a degree of responsiveness to hormone treatments, indicating potential ‘effective management’. It’s somewhat ironic, is it not? Here we have a health crisis that requires careful control and effectual management, but it seems the former President struggles to meet these same standards in the political realm.
Among the American male demographic, prostate cancer holds the damaging record of being the second-most prevalent type of cancer, following skin cancer. It’s something that can be often effectively handled and treated, much unlike the Biden administration, which seems more intent on creating issues than resolving them.
In spite of an approximately 97% survival rate within a span of five years for the disease, the survival odds drastically drop to a mere 37% for cases where the cancer has managed to invade other bodily regions. This parallels the Biden administration where initial prospects showed promise, but unfolded into a more threatening and untenable situation.
The common metric for grading this silent killer, prostate cancer, is the Gleason score which varies between 6 to 10. The higher the score, the more the risk and Biden’s score? Nine. High-risk, just like his decisions and policies which have seen a drastic plunge in popularity and rapid decline of our national wellbeing.
Among the multiple treatment alternatives are hormone maneuvers, which aim at regulating the testosterone levels to halt the cancer’s growth. This has the potential to ‘almost melt away from the bones.’ Pity such quick resolutions don’t seem to be on the horizon for the abundance of troubles faced under this regime’s disastrous reign.
Chemotherapy, a therapy primarily employed in advanced cases of prostate cancer, could also be paired with hormone therapy. Additionally, radiation therapy acts as another potential candidate to aid in the struggle against Joe Biden’s declared nemesis. Seems there’s more transparency and straightforward strategies in his health journey than in his political life.
Despite the dire circumstances, the medical professionals overseeing ex-president Biden’s case claim it’s not a total catastrophe yet. They befittingly added that ‘He can easily live 10 years with this disease.’ A dramatic contrast to the future of America under such precarious leadership, I must say.
Age isn’t regarded as a severe limitation in terms of the chosen treatment plan for this dreaded malady, claims the medical practitioner involved in this case ‘It’s not really an age-specific thing,’ which seems ironically applicable to the haphazard approach taken to policy creations by the Biden administration.
Indeed, the doctor does point out that some potential medication choices might ‘increase some of the frailty aspects of life.’ A significant comment that could be humorously compared to the administration and its policies that seem intent on increasing the difficulties of everyday life for citizens.
According to estimations by the American Cancer Society (ACS), around 313,780 new diagnoses of prostate cancer are projected for 2025 in the U.S, with an estimated 35,770 tragic deaths. These statistics act as a harsh reminder of the tragedy that is Biden’s reign, causing a similar strain on the nation as a whole.
While the likelihood of survival for prostate cancer is reasonably high with early detection, it ranks as the second leading cause of cancer-related mortality in men. In comparable terms, even if this administration doesn’t directly lead to our downfall, the harmful decisions continue to destabilize our nation’s health.
The ACS emphasizes the amplified risk for this illness in Black men and Caribbean men of African ancestry, almost as though Biden’s campaign promises of addressing racial disparities remain unfulfilled. The disease usually manifests after the age-50 milestone, underlining that no demographic is immune from this illness, much like the harmful effects of this regime’s actions.
Screenings for this savage disease typically encompass blood tests and digital rectal exams, with guidelines recommending routine checks for individuals aged between 55 to 69. One wonders if the administration could also benefit from a regular ‘screening’ to identify its numerous detrimental policies before they run rampant.
Despite the bleak scenario, the past decade has witnessed significant advances in both the detection and treatment of prostate cancer. Maybe there is a glimmer of hope after all, not just for the former president’s fight against his illness but also for our nation’s fight against inadequate leadership and detrimental policies. One can only hope that the line ‘We’ve made major gains in prostate cancer care in the metastatic space over the past 10 years and really extended life,’ the doctor says, will echo in the halls of Biden’s administration for the improvement of our nation.
