A leading oncologist on President Biden’s team made some shocking claims about how his old boss might have had prostate cancer long before Sunday’s announcement went public of his diagnosis.
He similarly made suggestions that the oldest ever president may even have had the condition for a decade.
Dr. Emanuel, who was a former member of Biden’s transition team, assisted in crafting the Obama-era Affordable Care Act, explained how he was stunned at the claims.
As per his analysis, the 82-year-old was suffering from cancer while serving as the country’s head of state.
‘He’s had this for so many years. It might even be up to a decade, growing there, and slowly spreading without anyone noticing’- he mentioned.
“It’s clear that he never developed this in the past 100 to 200 days’- the statement went on to read.
The announcement made on Sunday from the former US President’s office came just two days after he learned of the diagnosis himself.
The 82-year-old had reported urinary symptoms that led to doctors finding a small nodule on his prostate during an examination earlier this month. Even if he didn’t have those routine blood tests after the age of 70, he must have had the PSA exam during his younger years, the doctor mentioned.
