Biden’s Prostate Cancer – Malpractice or Coverup?

On the heels of the release of audio of Special Counsel Robert Hur’s interview with Former President Joe Biden, this news has emerged. Biden has been diagnosed with an "aggressive" form of prostate cancer, “with metastasis to the bone."

The timing is curious, but the prognosis is grim.

This is metastatic or stage IV cancer. The five-year survival rate for metastatic prostate cancer is 30%, with a median survival time of 2 to 3 years.

This is tragic news for Joe Biden and his family. However, to borrow a phrase from the Nixon era, the question is: what did they know and when did they know it?

Prostate cancer, according to Harvard Medical School, is diagnosed in approximately 238,000 American men each year. Why are we only now hearing about Biden’s advanced cancer?

Mayo Clinic notes that, “Prostate cancer is usually found early, and it often grows slowly. Most people with prostate cancer are cured.” Bone metastases are late-stage cancer, not early, and are unlikely to be cured.

The president receives an annual physical exam and is under the care of a White House Physician, who has an office in the White House, along with a White House Medical Unit that includes five military physicians, five physician assistants, five nurses, and three paramedics. One of the physicians is always present with the president, whether in Washington, D.C., or in a foreign land.

This staff is not only for the president but also for his immediate family and White House staff; the emphasis is on the Commander in Chief.

Biden’s last reported physical exam in February 2024, “Revealed no signs of trouble, according to his doctor, who said that this year's check-up identified no new concerns." No mention of prostate cancer or his declining cognitive state.

Although I am younger than Biden, my annual physical includes a digital rectal exam to check for prostate nodules or enlargement, as well as a PSA test, which, if elevated, suggests prostate cancer. I assume Biden’s physical included the same.

Yet this year, "In a routine physical exam a small nodule was found in the prostate which necessitated further evaluation."

In a slow-growing cancer that is now advanced, how could a nodule or prostate enlargement have gone unnoticed earlier, or was Biden’s PSA not elevated?

Was this cancer overlooked by a team of medical professionals responsible for keeping the president healthy? Once more, what did they know and when did they know it?

Or was it known and kept under wraps? Like Biden’s cognitive state, which only now, after he is out of office, are White House staffers and the media finally acknowledging?

Remember how many weekends Biden spent at his Rehoboth beach house? Was the reason, as claimed by NPR, that he was almost anywhere but the White House, where he says it's “hard to get comfortable"? Or was Biden undergoing treatment for his cancer at home, far from the prying eyes of Washington, D.C.?

Everyone in Biden’s orbit, including staff, family, and media who observed him daily, said nothing about his mental decline, which was obvious to even casual observers. Did his handlers also cover up his cancer diagnosis?

This raises questions about Biden’s fitness and ability to hold office under the 25th Amendment. Was he receiving chemotherapy during his presidency? If so, for how long?

Chemotherapy side effects include tiredness, lack of energy, and memory and concentration issues, among other medical concerns. These symptoms overlap with those of dementia. Yet it was massively covered up.

We are now learning that Biden was, as Newsweek reported, “a leader whose public image of control and clarity masked private struggles with memory, stamina, and recognition.”

It may have been not only dementia but also cancer. Transparency regarding presidential health and fitness is crucial and clearly lacking during the last administration.

Who ran the country, made crucial decisions, signed bills into law, issued executive orders and presidential pardons? Who operated the infamous “autopen”?

If his physicians missed both his cancer and dementia, that’s medical malpractice. If they covered it up, allowing a rogue group of individuals to run the country, that’s even worse. Which is it, and will we ever know the truth?

Never mind January 6; this is a true insurrection.
