As you know, Megan, if I would have met him about 10 years ago when this cancer was just localized within prostate cancer, with our technology of robotic surgery, we could have saved his life with possibility of radiation afterwards if he needs it. Now that the cancer is spread to the bone, the prognosis is poor.

Now, from the time of diagnosis, whenever that is or that was, it takes about five to seven years for the cancer to metastasize to bone and another five years or so for the person to die, unfortunately, from this disease. Obviously, that's the average. The only treatment that's effective right now is not surgery. It's not radiation.

It's hormonal treatment or medical castration where it can reduce his testosterone to a very low level in order to slow down these cells from growing further. So we can slow down the progression, but there's no cure at this point.

Yes. What he's talking about is something called ADT or medications such as Elagard or Lupron, which I was just talking about, the hormonal treatment. And not only they would lower the testosterone, they can cause hot flashes and menopausal symptoms, but they can also have cardiac issues. And one of those side effects, Megan, is mental health issues, meaning like, you know, it's a little cloudy.

They're not concentrating and it can affect it. Now, don't forget that President Biden also has had in the past two episodes of aneurysm in his brain, has had multiple surgeries on that. So some of those could also affect his mental issues. And I... If you look at my Twitter about a couple of years ago, I talked about that as a doctor, I was concerned about his mental health issues.

given also his age, that he's 82 years old, under a lot of stress, has been in politics for many years, the brain aneurysm, two episodes, and sometimes even prostate cancer can, of course, it always metastasizes to bone, but it can also metastasize to brain. It's not as likely, but all of those are scenarios and the side effects of hormonal treatment that can cause mental health issues.
