PM Modi Sends Support To The Biden Family
PM Modi’s heartfelt message came after Biden’s office disclosed that the 82-year-old former president was battling a particularly aggressive form of prostate cancer, which has spread to the bones.
“Deeply concerned to hear about @JoeBiden’s health. Extend our best wishes to him for a quick and full recovery. Our thoughts are with Dr. Jill Biden and the family,” PM Modi wrote.
Biden’s office shared that his diagnosis followed the discovery of a prostate nodule after he reported worsening urinary symptoms.
Tests later confirmed the presence of a high-grade cancer with a Gleason score of 9 (Grade Group 5), which indicated metastasis to the bone.
However, the statement also noted that the cancer appears to be hormone-sensitive, which may allow for more effective management.

On Friday, they diagnosed him with prostate cancer, characterised by a Gleason score of 9 (Grade Group 5) and metastasis to the bone.
While this represents a more aggressive form of the disease, the cancer appears to be hormone-sensitive, which allows for effective management,” the statement read.
