Jill Biden calls husband’s cancer diagnosis ‘shocking’: ‘Somehow that was missed’
When pressed by Braver about whether the White House physicians should have caught this diagnosis while her husband was in office, Jill Biden cited medical testing standards to discontinue prostate-specific antigen (PSA) testing for older patients. “Well, you know, the doctor said that according to the American Urological Association, that men over 70 don’t need a PSA, a blood test, anymore because it’s a slow-growing cancer,” she said. The former first lady added, “I do feel we had amazing care in the White House, but somehow that was missed.” The full interview will air on “CBS News Sunday Morning” this weekend.
