SALISBURY, Conn. (NBC, KYMA/KECY) - Former President Joe Biden attended his grandson's high school graduation Friday, marking his first public appearance since he announced he was diagnosed with prostate cancer last weekend.

On Tuesday, his office released a second statement, saying he had never been diagnosed with prostate cancer prior to last week.

The statement also clarified the former president had not been tested for prostate cancer in over a decade.
