Welcome to Wellness on Mass. I'm Dr. Nicole Sapphire and this is your weekly rundown.

Well, unless you've been living in a hole, you've probably heard former President Biden

has been diagnosed with an aggressive late stage prostate cancer. We don't have all the information

and there's still a lot of questions. But some people are starting to wonder, was this cancer diagnosis missed by the White

House physician or did they know about the cancer and they withheld the diagnosis from

It's not really a stretch considering how they withheld the cognitive decline over the course

And therefore, he wasn't being screened, so therefore they didn't miss it. Well, while we do

recommend stopping cancer screenings, you know, after a certain age, there's not an immediate

cutoff, but the reality is you kind of look at someone's life expectancy and decide whether or not

you want to keep screening for cancer if there really is a benefit to it. Why this doesn't pass my

sniff test is the fact that, okay, so they said that they stopped screening him for prostate

annual skin checks for skin cancer screening. So he was still doing cancer screening up until he was

82. So don't tell me you decided to stop screening him in 2014 before he was even

president. I don't buy that. In 2019, Biden's physician said that he was being treated for BPH,
