I know a woman who, around age 60, was diagnosed with a fairly rare breast cancer that she was told was aggressive and likely to come back, but 10+ years later, it hasn’t. She did have mastectomy, chemo, and radiation so it got nailed from every direction available at the time. Several years later, her 88-year-old mother was diagnosed with the same type of cancer (and it’s not a type that is considered genetic) and she opted to have a mastectomy and no further treatment, and her doctors agreed that this was the right thing for her. The mother died about a year later from an unrelated cause.
This is less about Biden in 2024 than it is about Kamala running in 2028.
They’re laying their groundwork already, team.

Time to start a new thread. If it doesn’t relate to Joe Biden dropping out of the race in 2024, it doesn’t belong in this one. Thanks.
But it can be bad. And i guess in this case it is. 
No one-box. So I’ll summarize that he was diagnosed with an aggressive prostate cancer that has spread to his bones. But it’s hormone-sensitive, so it is probably treatable. “He and his family are discussing…”
If Biden had stayed in the race and had won, would he have resigned with this announcement? Or would there be days of breathless speculation about the 25th Amendment?
5/18 update: And I was right.
I wish him and his family only the best in the difficult days to come.
p.s. I remember when Frank Zappa was diagnosed with terminal prostate cancer in the early 1990s, and it was considered inoperable upon diagnosis. Granted, the treatments have advanced by leaps and bounds in the decades since. He was just 53 when he died.

Please take the discussion regarding Joe Biden’s diagnosis to a new thread. This thread was to discuss Biden dropping out of the 2024 race, which is now long past. As such, this is closed.
