Trump has set the internet ablaze after claiming Joe Biden has "Stage 9 cancer", a medical impossibility that immediately triggered a storm of confusion, memes and serious national concern. The viral mix-up came as Trump appeared to confuse Biden’s Gleason 9 score, a measure of prostate cancer aggressiveness with a fictional cancer staging system. As the online firestorm spreads, medical experts are stepping in to correct misinformation and clarify Biden’s actual condition. WATCH 

Former US President Joe Biden has been diagnosed with an aggressive form of prostate cancer, with the disease having spread to his bones, according to a statement released by his office on Sunday. The 82-year-old had reportedly been experiencing worsening urinary symptoms and was examined by doctors last week. Medical evaluation revealed a nodule on the prostate, and subsequent testing confirmed the cancer diagnosis on Friday. The cancer has since metastasized to the bone, indicating an advanced stage of the disease. Following the announcement, former President Donald Trump offered his well-wishes to Biden, expressing sympathy and hopes for his recovery. Biden is currently consulting with his medical team to determine the best course of treatment.
