there was prostate cancer in my family (shit for me i guess).
it can be detected and managed with noninvasive methods SO early now that people easily can live 15-20 years with it before it spreads to the bones.
NO fucking way someone rich like biden didn't had these tests done all the time and it was missed.
@sun i honestly wouldn't be surprised, both about the cancer gun existing and that they want to get rid of him..
it's certainly completely off, and almost everyone who knows someone who had it will notice that this is pretty strange.
@bonifartius@qoto.org it wasn't missed but he kept forgetting after he left the dr's office
@genmaicha xD there are blood tests (PSA) for this now, i'd imagine someone like biden would get one of these!
@genmaicha at least it's how prostate cancer and the treatment is monitored, but i think it can be as well used for detection. i think these tests are pretty sensitive, apparently they even can detect if the prostate is merely "enlarged".
In Joe's case I guess his prostate cancer ended up being malignant and it spread to his bones.
A simple blood test checking PSA is enough.
Invasive procedures are not necessary.
@Suiseiseki @bonifartius
There is no non-invasive procedure that can tell the difference between a benign or malignant tumor.
To treat prostate cancer requires invasive procedures, which is more harmful than leaving a benign tumor alone.
