Shafaq News/ Former White House physician and Republican Congressman Ronny Jackson predicted how much longer US President Joe Biden will live after being diagnosed with aggressive cancer.
“This isn’t my specialty, but I’ve spoken with several urologists since this came to light, and they all agree he has 12 to 18 months to live,” Jackson said. “I hope there’s more time, and I think they’ll be able to treat this disease effectively, and he’ll live many more years. But the disease is very advanced.”
On May 18, The New York Times quoted Biden’s spokesman as saying that the former president had been diagnosed with “aggressive prostate cancer,” but the spokesman noted that the disease was “responding effectively to treatment.”
In an interview with the Washington Free Beacon, Jackson noted that Biden’s remaining time may not be long.
Oncologist Ezekiel Emanuel previously suggested in an interview with The Washington Post that Biden’s aggressive form of prostate cancer “had likely been progressing since the beginning of his presidency in 2021.” The newspaper noted that such statements sparked a new wave of suspicion about the “hiding of the diagnosis,” especially after criticism of the White House physician’s February 2024 report, which claimed that Biden was in “good health” with no prostate problems.
