EXCERPT:
TAPPER: “Now, yesterday afternoon, Biden‘s personal office revealed that a prostate nodule was found after the former president experienced increasing urinary symptoms. The statement continues that last Friday, Biden was diagnosed with an aggressive form of prostate cancer that has spread to his bones. The statement goes on to say that while this represents a more aggressive form of the disease, the cancer appears to be hormone sensitive, which allows for effective management. CNN is told the Biden‘s treatment options include hormone therapy as well as chemotherapy and radiation. And obviously, everybody here at CNN is sending out our thoughts and prayers and best wishes to the former First Family.”
