When the news of former President Joe Biden’s prostate cancer diagnosis broke Sunday, several took to X to show support — regardless if they were friend or foe.

The Biden family is now looking into treatment options for what has been described as “a more aggressive form” of cancer, ABC News reported.

The former president thanked all those who took the time to express their well wishes.

“Cancer touches us all. Like so many of you, Jill and I have learned that we are strongest in the broken places,” Biden wrote Monday morning. “Thank you for lifting us up with love and support.”
