Former U.S. President Joe Biden’s prostate cancer has metastasized beyond his bones and into other parts of his body, leaving him in a highly painful and debilitating condition. The health update was shared by his son, Hunter Biden, during an emotional interview with the BBC’s Newsnight.
A Painful Health Battle
The 83-year-old former president was first diagnosed with an aggressive form of prostate cancer in May 2025, just four months after concluding his term in the White House. Despite undergoing extensive radiation therapy and hormone treatments over the past year, the disease has continued to progress.
“The cancer has spread, metastasized into his bones and further,” Hunter Biden stated during the broadcast. He described the situation as deeply difficult for the family, adding, “It’s really sad to watch… It’s very painful and it’s very debilitating in many respects.” Hunter also noted that his father rarely complains about the physical toll, wishing instead that he would speak up more about the discomfort.
Staying Active Despite Illness
Despite the advanced stage of his illness, Joe Biden remains politically engaged and determined to maintain his public presence. He has continued to participate in public speaking engagements and is currently preparing to release his presidential memoir later this year.
“He’s still out there. He’s still doing his thing,” Hunter said, highlighting his father’s lifelong resilience and deep commitment to the country. Representatives for the former president have declined to comment further on the specific medical details of his condition.If you want to tailor this further for your website, let me know:
