HEARTFUL prayers for Joe Biden...

[Totally Tunsie]

Just announced on CNN that he was diagnosed on Friday with an "aggressive" form of prostate cancer which has permeated his bones also.

Obviously, much more to come...

4. Hoping for the best

President Biden deserves a long and peaceful retirement. Lord knows he's earned it!

[proud patriot]

5. Sending love and strength

[senseandsensibility]

6. I hope his treatment is successful and painfree

He gave us his all and deserves many years of peaceful retirement.

[Demovictory9]

7. But has treatment options

[Bluetus]

81. This seems really strange.

Prostate cancer is about the easiest form of cancer to detect, other than skin cancer. Surely he was receiving regular screenings.

But with a Gleason score of 9, if he was having an annual PSA test (and digital exam), I guess a very aggressive variant could have been undetectable a year ago, but have progressed to the metastatic phase by now.

Prostate cancer is nearly 100% treatable if not metastatic, in the worst case, by prostatectomy. But that is not an option in Biden's case. Or I should say, prostatectomy alone does little good if the cells have already spread. In my case I had a Gleason of 8, but apparently no spread outside the prostate. After prostatectomy, they monitor PSA actively for 10 years because it is entirely possible following a "successful" prostatectomy to have prostate cancer develop several years later.

8. God Bless Joe Biden

This world is so unfair.

No wonder he acted off. It's really painful when it gets into the bones.

Aw.

[SheltieLover]

35. Ty for sharing

Sounds like Joe has treatment options!

[Botany]

15. Best President of my lifetime

And such a good man too. I hope for his recovery but when cancer gets into your bones
things can be very difficult for you.

[SheltieLover]

36. Our modern day FDR!

[Botany]

75. Yup. He made me so proud on his trip to Ukraine and Europe. Outstanding Leadership.

He was wheels up Monday @ 3 am in D.C. flew straight through to Germany for fuel and
then onto Warsaw from there he took a train to Kyiv … btw as they train started rolling we
called the Russians and told them don’t even think about anything…. got in sometime in the
am …. And showed up @ Zelenskyy’s Home @ 8 AM sharp and he was looking sharp too.

And after Ukraine Joe met with the leadership guys from multiple European Countries and put
together a multilateral partnership that was so good that after Trump cheated his way back in
and they all knew he was “Russian Dirty” that partnership came together and wrote Trump and
America out of European Affairs and moved on without Trump. Joe’s fingerprints are all over the
new European power structure that is doing the right things as per Ukraine and standing up to
that blood thirsty dictator Vlad Putin.

[SheltieLover]

79. Ty so much for sharing this!

I didn't realize he did all this.

I used to read his schedule for the day when it was posted here & I'd feel exhausted just thinking about all his rigorous activities.

I love Joe & Dr. Jill.

I'm so glad Joe worked with our allies to write the slob out of their future plans!

Ty, Joe!

[SnoopDog]

39. Totally agree!

Imagine if our news media wasn’t fascist and told the real news.

[Botany]

76. We had the best economy in the world and still we heard right wing lies about Bidnomics and inflation.

And it wasn’t until after the elections that we heard about Avian Influenza and that
going down 120 million chickens would make the price of eggs go up.

[dchill]

60. That's my take, too.

[Botany]

78. He protected and enhanced the recharging capacity to store ground water for the Ogallala aquifer

So all those Great Plains farmers can grow crops.

[gademocrat7]

16. Prayers and healing hugs

For President Biden.🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏💙💙💙

[flamingdem]

17. My best to the Bidens

Lots of love, support and healing!

[Clouds Passing]

19. Much comfort and healing Joe 💚 I'm praying for your speedy recovery 🙏🏼

Maybe the msm will stfu with their lies about Joe Biden. Replace your hate with grace msm!

[Cha]

21. On No.. Best Healing Vibes for Joe Biden!💙

🌈

[mvd]

22. That's very sad

Sending my prayers out and very hopeful they can treat it. Cancer is awful.

[Littlered]

23. Oh no.

That is just terrible news. How did they not catch this earlier? His psa should have been off the chart.

[hamsterjill]

24. Damn! The world is just upside down.

The good guy gets sick, and the asshole doesn't.

Joe doesn't deserve this and neither does his family. No family does. Makes me so very sad, and I hope there are protocols that can help him have a great quality of life for many, many more years.

[kimbutgar]

25. My prayers are for President Biden now

I’ve lost 2 friends to prostate cancer. I hope he gets the best medical care for this.

I’m sure the orange Hitler will say something really awful during this time. I just wish he’d get an even more aggressive cancer that takes him out asap!

[The Madcap]

38. Can cancer eat the Cancer?

The orange one?

[kimbutgar]

48. Well the orange Hitler is a cancer on our country

So I’m keeping my fingers crossed 🤞!

[JMCKUSICK]

26. Oh dear God, that's terrible.

Praying for you President Biden and sending Love to you and your family.

[TNNurse]

27. That asshole in the White House

needs to not comment. No one cares what he thinks.

I just had to tell this news to my husband who is still struggling with the effects of his prostate cancer treatment. He is distressed.

Lost a dear friend who also had metastatic bone when his was discovered. He had lots of treatment. He died not long after his 50th birthday.

Cancer is overwhelming. The effects of the treatment are always there. The fear of a reoccurrence, is in the background every day and I am a 13 year breast cancer survivor. But it is there.

[SheltieLover]

33. Healing vibes on the way to you & husband

[TNNurse]

51. Thanks,

It has been a very tough 2 years.

[SheltieLover]

54. Yw

[HipChick]

28. I hope that Orange

Turd refrains from attacking/insulting Joe Biden from now..

Prayers for Joe Biden..

[Meowmee]

29. Very sorry to hear this 😢

Prayers for him and his family 🙏🏻

I hope treatment will help him. My father had prostate cancer, an aggressive one, but it had not spread. He survived it.

[SheltieLover]

30. Oh no!

Healing vibez on wsy to him & his family.

[FarPoint]

31. Positive white-light protection for Joe Biden...

May Beau and his guardian angels protect him.....

[FalloutShelter]

46. Adding my energy.

[Oopsie Daisy]

32. This is crushing. He doesn't deserve this.

Trump deserves this.

[PatSeg]

37. So much hardship and pain in his life

And now this on top of everything else? Meanwhile, a lot of the media has been truly horrible to him and his family. He absolutely does not deserve this.

[Oopsie Daisy]

44. I'm in tears. I know this isn't "about me" ... but I feel like he's a member of my own family.

And I feel so helpless to do anything about it. I cried for Jimmy Carter and I'll do the same now for Joe. We were so lucky to have him.

[PatSeg]

64. I've been brought to tears many times by Joe

My daughter is the same way. When it comes to politics, he is the most down-to-earth decent person I've ever encountered. He's been treated so poorly by Washington and most infuriatingly, even those who claimed to be his friend.

[mwmisses4289]

34. Good thoughts to Ptesident Biden and his family.

[alittlelark]

40. 💔🙏🏻🙏🏽🙏🏿

…………….🥺

[ShazzieB]

41. Oh no!

I will definitely keep Joe and his family in my prayers.

I just hope he lives for a few more years. If he were to die while Schlump is in office, I would worry that the Orange Hellbeast would try to keep him from getting the kind of state funeral he deserves for his contributions to this nation, not just as potus, but as veep and for all those years in this Senate. If any former president deserves for his passing to be marked with all the formalities and signs of respect possible, it's Joe Biden.

[colorado_ufo]

42. God bless him, for a lifetime of service to the United States of America.

A good man with endless patience, strength, and courage. I am sorry that he has been through so much.

[Aviation Pro]

43. Hang in there, Mr. President

…..

[debsy]

47. President Biden did a great deal for our country

I can’t even imagine what scum bucket dumpster will do or say in the event of his death.

[littlemissmartypants]

45. Keep the faith.

Thanks for everything, Mr. President.





❤️

[peggysue2]

49. Oh, no

Say it ain't so, Joe!

Good God, the cancer has metastasized to the bones. So painful and sadly lethal.

Will the media now hang their heads in shame? Probably not.

Will Agent Orange and his Flying Monkey Brigade get off the Biden smear campaign? Most definitely not because they enjoy kicking people when they're down.

How devastating for the Biden family. The man is well loved with good reason.

I have great empathy for Jill Biden and Hunter, as well as the extended family. They're a tight-knit, loving family and they adore their Pop.

This is going to hurt.

[brakester]

50. We love you President Biden!

And appreciate all you have done for the American people. You are an upstanding, generous, moral, politically wise and great man. We will always remember you as a man who gave his ALL to our country. A wise man who wasn't afraid to evolve.
We wish you the very best. Take care of yourself and rest easy knowing you are one of our most admirable leaders.

52. Healing Thoughts For President Buden

🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

[riversedge]

53. Ohh my !! Pres Biden is a good man and this really hits me hard.

[Nanjeanne]

55. Cancer Sucks. Wishing Pres. Biden well and healing light.

[Bayard]

56. I don't know whether to cry or throw up.....

A truly good man, who has done much good in the world. He certainly doesn't deserve this with all the tragedy in his life.


I would think with all the physicals he gets they would have caught this sooner. Makes me wonder if this was the real reason he dropped out of the presidential race.

Everyone that said the scum-sucking bottom feeder better not open his mouth about it---Absolutely!

[Joinfortmill]

57. This is very sad news. God bless Joe and his family.

[stillcool]

58. heartfelt bests for all of the Bidens

and everyone they've ever touched. Imagine that sea of people.

[Jilly_in_VA]

59. AMEN.

So be it.

[Fla Dem]

61. President Joe Biden feel the many arms around you and Jill in loving hugs.

❤️ 💔

[LoisB]

62. Noooo. Prayers for Joe.

[kacekwl]

63. Prayers for you sir and Jill.

I salute you President Biden.

[dsvajda]

65. Thirty Years Ago

my father had the same diagnosis. When it spread to dad's bones, the doctor said all he could do was keep him out of pain, but there was no cure. That was thirty years ago. Hopefully medical science has progressed enough over three decades to cure the cancer.

[bmichaelh]

66. Hope for a speedy recovery

Hope that he has a speedy recovery.

I regard anything that MAGA says as empty words.

The current administration is cutting cancer research.

And deporting children undergoing cancer treatment shows their true character.

I also regard Trump's words as meaningless.

I am a lymphoma survivor.
It returned in 2019.
4 different treatments over 2 years failed to produce a complete remission.
5th treatment did produce a complete remission.
Thanks, in part due to ACA (Obamacare) disallowing lifetime limits.
A law Trump tried to destroy.

[irisblue]

[Figarosmom]

68. That's so sad.

I wonder if the news media will stop their hut on him now.

[kentuck]

69. Joe Biden has endured more than any man should have to endure.

Last edited Mon May 19, 2025, 10:51 AM - Edit history (1)

No doubt, it has taken a toll over the years. His life has not been easy. When he lost his son, Beau, it was almost too much to bear for him.

Yet, he endured and went on to a successful presidency.

But, it was still not enough to defeat the wave of fascism that came with Donald Trump. We received a 4-year reprieve with Joe Biden and almost everyone on DU, including myself, were appreciative and encouraged him to stay in the race. We did not want to use his age against him.

But, it was more than that. Nobody in the Democratic Party establishment wanted to challenge him. They thought he could win again and if he then had to step down, we had an experienced and capable leader in Kamala Harris. No doubt there were debates inside the White House that we did not know about. And more than likely, supporters like us here on DU, may have helped persuade him to stay in the race? We do not know.

However, no one should be pointing fingers. We were facing a crisis with the MAGA fascist movement and we needed whatever leadership we could get at the time.

It is sad to hear about Joe's condition and we wish the very best for him and his family. If there is someone to blame for him staying on, it is all of us. But we should not regret our support. It was a necessity.

Sometimes we play the cards that are dealt and they are just not good enough to win the hand.

[MorbidButterflyTat]

[meow2u3]

71. God bless you, President Biden

May you survive this battle with cancer with the help of God.

[Wicked Blue]

72. Dearest Goddess, please send Joe Biden blessings of healing

so that he will recover from this. We need him here.

So mote it be.

[nolabear]

73. I'm so deeply sad about this.

Joe strikes me as a man whose service held him up through a life of pain. I know we’re all fragile and mortal but the pile-on at this moment would be damn near unbearable for many. I hope he knows he’s loved deeply and has given everything for us, and isn’t just being thought of as flawed and failing.

We need to let him know that.

[BigmanPigman]

74. I'm an atheist but I send my love and support to the best POTUS ever!

No prayers from me since that would be hypocritical of me but I do believe in the afterlife (I've had many unusual "experiences" in my life after loved ones have died). If there really is a "life review" than I know Joe will be having a wonderful reunion with his family and friends. He will have gone "home" in peace, like Carter. You can't say that about Kissinger!!! I wish evil monsters like him would get fucked big time. Those like him should get KARMA in spades. However, this is not what happens and it pisses me off!

There is no "karma". Evil monsters succeed and live forever. That is a fact of the human race. This is why I am a misanthrope. People, especially those who have testosterone poisoning (49%of the human race), thrive on killing and harming others. Humans are genocidal sadists. Always have been and always will be. Kissinger was a sadist, Biden and Carter are humanitarians. It is very black and white. Evil vs Love. Evil always wins in the end.

[OAITW r.2.0]

80. Thanks for your service Joe. A more honorable man in public service, I haven't witnessed.

[wolfie001]

82. Truly an honest and worthy President!

Our country, at least the scum that didn't vote for him didn't deserve him. I hope the best for Joe and Jill!

[cadoman]

83. I won't pray to something that does not exist, but sincerely hope Joe makes it

Thank you Joe, and hugs to Dr. Jill Biden and the rest of the Bidens.

[lark]

84. This is such sad news!

I hope he can beat it. My dad fought his agressive prostate cancer for 13 years - but then he was amazing. He kept walking up until the end when the doctors had told him 6 months previous that it would be impossible for him to walk with his leg and hip bones absolutely eaten up with black lesions. He beat the odds for so long before he just couldn't do it anymore.

I hope the Bidens have time together.

I hate the fucking right wing liars for piling on to him so badly, it is freaking ridiculous when an actual pustule of ire and revenge and dementiaa, who is nothing more than a fugly criminal and traitor to our country, is supported by them.
