Biden says 'I feel good' and 'optimistic' in the first public comments on cancer treatment

Former President Joe Biden, after delivering his first public comments since his office announced earlier this month that he had been diagnosed with ‘aggressive prostate cancer, “he told the journalists on Friday that he felt” optimistic “about his prognosis.

“Well, the forecast is good. You know, we are working on everything. You are moving. So, I feel good,” Biden said.

He said he had decided a treatment option, mentioning that he would take several medications.

“The expectation is that we will be able to overcome this … it is not in any organ. My bones are strong. It has not penetrated, so I feel good,” he added, then saying that his family is also optimistic about the diagnosis and said “one of the world’s main surgeons” is working with him.

The announcement of the Biden office said there was “metastasis to the bone.”

When asked about the recent controversy about his mental and physical abilities while he was in office, Biden joked, with a smile: “You can see that, I am mentally incompetent and I cannot walk.”

And he asked about the Democrats who say that he should not have run again, Biden said: “Why didn’t they run against me then? Because I would have defeated them.” He added that he does not regret.

“Many things are happening. And I think we are in a really difficult time, not only in American history, in the history of the world. I think we are one of those inflection points in history where the decisions we make in the next little girl will determine how things look for things for the next 20 years,” he added, saying that he is proud of his record as president.

On Thursday, the White House Secretary, Karoline Leavitt, told journalists that former First Lady Jill Biden should “talk about what he saw with respect to her husband and when he saw him and what he knew,” accusing her of lying.

When asked about Leavitt’s comments, Biden smiled and said: “I don’t know who the press secretary is,” but then he said he was joking and that the media would play directly.
