Jill Biden and her family are coming to terms with husband Joe's prostate cancer diagnosis days before the anniversary of their son's death from cancer.
The former president disclosed his health situation on May 18, a mere 12 days before the anniversary of Beau Biden's heartbreaking death of brain cancer
Biden's office released a statement saying: "Last week, President Joe Biden was seen for a new finding of a prostate nodule after experiencing increasing urinary symptoms."

The statement continued: "On Friday, he was diagnosed with prostate cancer, characterized by a Gleason score of nine (Grade Group five) with metastasis to the bone."
It added: "While this represents a more aggressive form of the disease, the cancer appears to be hormone-sensitive, which allows for effective management."
"The President and his family are reviewing treatment options with his physicians grow quickly."
Beau Biden's life was tragically cut short by brain cancer on May 30, 2015, less than two years after being diagnosed at the age of 46.
Beau, who had first been diagnosed with a brain tumor in 2013, was not only an Iraq War veteran and Bronze Star recipient but also served as Delaware's attorney general. Before his cancer ordeal, Beau had endured a stroke in 2010.

In the wake of Beau's passing, Jill has frequently shared her experiences of grief with the public.
In a 2021 address, she said: "In 2015, my faith was shaken for over a year I watched my brave, strong, funny, bright young son fight brain cancer. Chemotherapy, operation after operation, weight loss. But still I never gave up hope. As a mother, you can't.
"I had to be strong for my children and for my husband. But most of all for my son, Beau. I had to be strong for him. Because in the middle of it all, he was being strong for us.
"So I kept going. Every day, I put one foot in front of the other, and despite what the doctors said, I believed my son would make it."
