Former US president Joe Biden\u2019s prostate cancer has spread to other parts of his body and is causing him pain, even as he continues to speak out on public issues, his son Hunter said in an interview.<\/p>\n

In a wide-ranging interview with the BBC broadcast late on Friday, Hunter Biden grew emotional as he discussed his father\u2019s condition, describing it as very sad to watch.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe cancer has spread, metastasised into his bones and further,\u201d he said. \u201cIt\u2019s very painful and it\u2019s very debilitating in many respects.\u201d<\/p>\n

Joe Biden, 83, was the oldest man to serve as US president and his age was a source of concern for much of his four years in office.<\/p>\n

He and his White House advisers have faced intense criticism for allegedly concealing the extent of his problems, especially after he was forced to abandon his bid for re-election after a disastrous debate with his eventual successor, Donald Trump.<\/p>\n
