After Joe Biden's cancer was confirmed, people began raising fresh concerns about his overall wealth, especially regarding his past role in the White House.
Biden was diagnosed with prostate cancer after doctors found a nodule on his prostate during a regular medical check-up.
The cancer was officially confirmed on Friday, May 16 and as per the reports, the cancer has already spread to his bones.
As soon as the news came out, some people were shocked and questioned how Biden's "aggressive" cancer wasn't discovered earlier, especially considering his age and the fact that he's a well-known public figure.
While some people are shocked, others say that cancer is a disease that can spread quickly and often without symptoms, so many people don't realize they have it until later.
US President Donald Trump also joined the debate and told reporters on Monday, May 19 that Biden should have been more open and honest with the public about his cancer diagnosis.
Trump hinted, without providing any proof, that the cancer news might have been deliberately hidden.
"I think it is very sad actually. I am surprised that the public wasn't notified a long time ago," he said, as per BBC.
Trump added, "It could take years to get to this level of danger. So, look, it's a very, very sad situation. I feel very badly about it, and I think people should try and find out what happened."
However, Biden has not responded yet to Trump's statements.
Joe Biden's prostate cancer classified as high risk:
Biden’s prostate cancer has been rated as very serious, with a Gleason score of 9.
This score tells doctor how aggressive the cancer is. A score of 6 means the cancer is mild, 7 is moderate and 8 to 10 is severe.
Since, Biden's score is 9, it means the cancer cells are very different from normal cells and are likely to grow or spread rapidly.
