Joe Biden Diagnosed with Aggressive Cancer
Joe Biden Faces Aggressive Cancer Battle Amid Public and Political Support Former U.S. President Joe Biden has been diagnosed with an aggressive form of prostate cancer that has already metastasized to his bones, according to a statement released by his office on Sunday. The 82-year-old received the diagnosis on Friday after consulting a doctor the previous week due to ongoing urinary symptoms. Medical evaluations revealed a Gleason score of 9 out of 10, a scale that measures the aggressiveness of prostate cancer. According to Cancer Research UK, such a high score indicates a “high-grade” cancer that is likely to spread quickly. Despite the severity, Biden’s team noted that the cancer is hormone-sensitive, which typically means the condition is more responsive to certain treatments and may be managed effectively. Biden and his family are reportedly exploring treatment options. This news comes less than a year after he withdrew from the 2024 presidential race amid growing concerns about his age and overall health. Biden had been vying for re-election when his campaign was hampered by a widely criticized performance during a televised debate in June against current President Donald Trump. His vice president, Kamala Harris, ultimately took his place as the Democratic nominee. The announcement sparked a wave of reactions from across the political spectrum. President Donald Trump expressed sympathy on his social media platform, Truth Social. "We are saddened to hear about Joe Biden's recent medical diagnosis," Trump wrote. "We extend our warmest and best wishes to Jill and the family. We wish Joe a fast and successful recovery." Democratic Representative Ro Khanna also voiced support on X, formerly known as Twitter. “He and Jill have always been fighters,” Khanna said. “I am confident they will meet this challenge with grit and grace.” Prostate cancer remains the second most common cancer among men, trailing only skin cancer. The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) reports that approximately 13 out of every 100 men will develop prostate cancer during their lifetime. Age remains the most significant risk factor for the disease. Since leaving office, Biden has kept a relatively low profile. His few public appearances included a keynote address in April at a conference hosted by the Advocates, Counselors, and Representatives for the Disabled in Chicago. In May, he participated in his first interview since stepping down, speaking to the BBC about the difficulty of his decision to leave the race. That same month, he appeared on The View, where he pushed back against speculation about cognitive decline during his final year as president. “There is nothing to sustain that,” he asserted. Throughout his career, Biden has been a vocal proponent of cancer research. In 2022, he and former First Lady Jill Biden relaunched the Cancer Moonshot initiative, aiming to accelerate research and reduce cancer-related deaths by over four million by 2047. Biden’s personal connection to the cause is deeply rooted in the loss of his eldest son, Beau, who died from brain cancer in 2015. As Biden confronts this new personal battle, the outpouring of public and political support reflects the deep impact he has had across both sides of the aisle. While the road ahead is uncertain, many are hoping the resilience that defined his political career will now serve him in this deeply personal fight. Adapted by ASEAN Now from BBC 2025-05-19 -

Crime Triple Shooting in Nakhon Si Thammarat: Gunman Kills Two Before Taking His Own Life
Picture courtesy of Khaosod. A shooting incident unfolded in the district of Chawang, Nakhon Si Thammarat, on the afternoon of 18 May, leaving three men dead in what appears to be a revenge-fuelled murder-suicide. According to Pol. Lt. Sutsakorn Sombatsorn, an investigator with Chawang Police Station, officers were alerted to the incident around 14:00 and responded to the scene accompanied by a forensic team, medical staff from Chawang Crown Prince Hospital and local rescue foundations. The first victim, identified as Mr Narong, also known as “Bao”, aged 49, was found dead on the road in front of a local resort in Moo 2, Chawang sub-district. He had sustained multiple gunshot wounds to the head from a 9mm handgun, with approximately five to six bullets fired, causing fatal head injuries. Roughly 200 metres away, within the the resort, a second victim was found. Identified as Mr Natthakit, or “Thiw”, aged 26, he had also been shot multiple times, four to five rounds from the same firearm. The shooter, identified as Mr Suraphan or “James”, aged 36, was later discovered dead in nearby woodland, having turned the gun on himself. A 9mm pistol, believed to be the weapon used in all three deaths, was found next to his body. In total, 14 spent shell casings were recovered from the three crime scenes. Initial investigations revealed that Mr Suraphan had longstanding disputes with both Mr Narong and Mr Natthakit, possibly involving debt or other personal grievances. It is believed he confronted Mr Narong in a nearby alleyway and opened fire. Mr Narong attempted to flee but collapsed on the road and was shot again at close range. Mr Natthakit, having heard the gunfire, reportedly exited his resort room to investigate and encountered Mr Suraphan returning to the alley. Suraphan then allegedly shot Mr Natthakit dead before fleeing into the grassland, where he committed suicide. Eyewitnesses confirmed that the attack occurred in broad daylight and in the presence of multiple people. Pol. Col. Suthat Songsayom, deputy commander of Nakhon Si Thammarat Provincial Police, said the motive is still under investigation, though initial evidence points towards a personal vendetta or dispute over financial matters. Authorities are continuing their inquiry to establish a clearer picture of the motive behind this event. Adapted by Asean Now from Khoasod 2025-05-19. -
