I have a question on President Biden's prostate cancer diagnosis

11. I seriously doubt those closest to him, especially Jill Biden would ignore

a cancer diagnosis. To me, it seems that it really was the doctor's visit where the lump was found that ultimately led to the diagnosis. A man leading the "moonshot" against cancer would not "hide" a diagnosis and do nothing.

Imagine the lump was discovered in 2023, they likely would have started the same investigation they did recently to determine the aggressiveness of the cancer and to what degree it had spread. Given what we now know, they would have found it was aggressive. There is no way they would just ignore it for 2 years. Not to mention, in this extremely unlikely scenario, he would have announced it as a reason for stepping out of the race. Meaning getting treatment nearly a year earlier. From things read, many take a "wait and see" approach with prostate cancer, but I assume that is after determining that it is not aggressive.

That said, I am surprised that PSA tests weren't done As others noted, it requires the doctor to just check another box and a small additional amount of blood is drawn.
