A Fox News panelist has made a startling personal revelation while defending former President Joe Biden‘s health fitness for office.

During a heated exchange on MediaBuzz, Lucy Caldwell argued that Biden could have served after his cancer diagnosis before revealing a shocking personal confession.

Caldwell then revealed that she is personally battling cancer at the moment. 

‘Clay is not a urologist or an oncologist,’ Caldwell said. ‘I am actively a cancer patient right now. I also feel great.’ 

‘Cancer is a very complicated disease. It’s very hard to speculate why he wasn’t screened … I think that the idea that this was a coverup of a cancer diagnosis seems quite unlikely,’ she said.

Her comments came after conservative commentator Clay Travis argued that Biden would have been forced to resign due to his recent prostate cancer diagnosis.

‘And I just think we’re very lucky as a country that Donald Trump is in office because otherwise, I think Joe Biden would have to step down and Kamala Harris would be elevated,’ Travis said.

‘And we just saw that the nation, overwhelmingly, all 50 states, moved against her compared to 2020. We did not want her to be president.’

‘So I’m thankful for Trump,’ he continued. ‘I feel like we dodged a bullet.’

The Democratic strategist then defended the former President, using her own experience with the disease.

‘The idea that this was a massive cover up, we just don’t know.’

‘You don’t know what is going on with your cancer from one moment to the next,’ she said.

‘Joe Biden was just diagnosed. The fact that his doctors don’t have all the information does not necessarily reflect that there’s a cover-up.

‘Cancer is a treatment. They’re all different. And it’s evolving moment to moment. You don’t know.’

The host asked if Caldwell’s cancer was diagnosed at an early stage, to which she replied ‘No – it was not actually – it was stage three.’

This comes after medical experts have questioned claims that failure to test Joe Biden for prostate cancer was a routine omission.

Last week, the ex-president’s office said the 82-year-old, who left office in January, was diagnosed with an ‘aggressive’ form of prostate cancer that spread to his bones.

According to Biden’s aides, doctors stopped testing his prostate-specific antigens in 2014, despite US guidelines that suggest all men over 70 require routine testing.

Since the announcement of his diagnosis, several doctors have questioned how the vicious disease was not detected earlier in the former US president – who is supposed to have had access to some of the best medical care available. 

‘To take a blood test from a man over 50 and not do a PSA is practically an assault. It is the most male-specific health-related blood test you can do,’ a senior surgeon told The Telegraph. 

‘If you get an abnormal result, then you do a scan (I imagine the White House has an MRI scanner) and then after that you do a biopsy. It is not as if we throw drugs at anyone with a high PSA, but I simply cannot envision a world where nobody at the White House ever ticked yes to a PSA test for him.’

Biden’s cancer announcement last week led to an outpouring support for the former commander-in-chief, though many remain skeptical about the timeline of his diagnosis.
