Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Monday expressed concern after former US President Joe Biden was diagnosed with prostate cancer. In a post on X, the PM wished Biden a quick and full recovery.
PM Modi's tweet comes after former US President Joe Biden's was recently diagnosed with advanced prostate cancer, which has already spread to his bones. The advanced stage has sparked debate among doctors and users on social media about how quickly the disease could have progressed.
Following the former President's diagnosis, criticism has surfaced on social media targeting his wife, Dr. Jill Biden from Donald Trump Jr., the eldest son of President Donald Trump. He questioned how the First Lady, who holds a doctoral degree in education, could have missed signs of such an advanced illness. "What I want to know is how did Dr. Jill Biden miss stage five metastatic cancer or is this yet another cover-up?" Trump Jr wrote in the post on X.
Dr. Steven Quay, a US-based physician and researcher, raised concerns about the timeline in a post on X that went viral. "Stage 4 prostate cancer doesn’t happen overnight,” he wrote, suggesting that the former President’s medical team may have known about the cancer much earlier than publicly disclosed.
"For even with the most aggressive form, it is a 5-7 year journey without treatment before it becomes metastatic. Meaning, it would be malpractice for this patient to show up and be first diagnosed with metastatic disease in May 2025. It is highly likely he was carrying a diagnosis of prostate cancer throughout his White House tenure and the American people were uninformed," Quay added.
