Former US president Joe Biden's cancer has spread and is very painful, son says

Former US President Joe Biden's son, Hunter Biden, revealed in a recent interview with the BBC that the former president's prostate cancer has spread to other parts of his body and is causing significant pain. Hunter Biden stated, "The cancer has spread, metastasised into his bones and further," adding that it's "very painful and very debilitating in many respects."
