Washington (USA), May 30 (LaPresse) – Former President Joe Biden has expressed optimism following his diagnosis with an aggressive form of prostate cancer that has metastasized to his bones. "Everyone is very optimistic. We expect to beat it," he told reporters after an event in Delaware, marking his first public appearance since the diagnosis. Biden reported that he is already undergoing treatment, which involves taking a daily pill. "It's not in any organs; my bones are strong," he added, noting that he is under the care of a world-renowned surgeon.
Biden did not mention his successor, Donald Trump, but stated that the United States is "in a really difficult moment—not just Americans, the whole world," emphasizing that America is "at a turning point where the decisions we make soon will determine how things will be for the next 20 years." Regarding his political legacy, Biden said he is "very proud" and unafraid of comparisons: "I will put my presidential record against that of any other president."
