No, but if they put him on ADT a couple of months ago and were seeing a decline in PSA, they'd know now. And he might just have had his scan that identified metastatic cancer.

In any case, let's not second-guess our fellow prostate cancer patients.

The timeline of the events was that on Friday (16 May), “….he was diagnosed with prostate cancer, characterized by a Gleason score of 9 (Grade Group 5) with metastasis to the bone,”

(So, we know that very recently he had a biopsy, maybe (or maybe not) an MRI, and either a bone scan or a PSMA PET scan to detect the bone metastasis.)

Other reports indicated that he went to be treated for urinary issues, and during a DRE a small nodule was found in the prostate, which necessitated further evaluation….” (No mention of a PSA test.)

Note that privacy still matters, even for a public official. (It was for me when I was an elected official.) The public has no inherent right to know. So, we won’t know all the details.

It’s always important to put together a timeline of events so that we (and others) can benefit from others’ experiences, what is standard of care and what might not be.

Reports also indicate that “Biden did not undergo prostate cancer screening during his last medical checkup while in office, in February 2024, according to records released at the time. Experts say this is likely due to that fact that these screenings are not routinely recommended for men 70 years or older.”

It’s also known that in 2019, Biden was diagnosed with BPH. One wonders if he had a PSA done then?

Everyone’s situation can be a lesson-learned for others, and have nothing to do with second-guessing. Just the facts….
