From Allen Loudell:
Multiple sources say the 44-year-old Biden is undergoing tests at the University of Texas M.D. Anderson Cancer Center, which U.S. NEWS & WORLD REPORT has consistently ranked as the nation’s best hospital for cancer treatment.
Usually, people are evaluated at M.D. Anderson Cancer Center for particularly daunting conditions. We already know the Attorney General was evaluated at hospitals in Chicago and Philadelphia. That raises this question: Is Beau Biden being evaluated at M.D. Anderson primarily as a precaution (and it doesn’t hurt to be the son of the Vice President of the United States), or does he really have chronic, complicated issues?
Indeed. This morning, NBC News and the New York Daily News are reporting Beau Biden has a mass in his brain. He is in Houston to figure out whether the mass is malignant.
Biden, who is the Delaware Attorney General, will likely undergo a biopsy today to determine if the mass is malignant. The results for the biopsy is likely to take a few days.
Whether the mass is malignant or not, it is never good to have a mass in your brain, especially depending on where it is. Our prayers and well wishes continue to go out to the Biden family and we hope for the best case scenario.
