Hunter Biden disclosed that his father, Joe Biden, is battling prostate cancer that has metastasized to other parts of his body, including his bones. In a recent BBC interview, Hunter described the situation as painful and debilitating, yet noted his father's resilience: “He’s still out there. He’s still doing his thing.”1
Former First Lady Jill Biden echoed these sentiments during an interview with SiriusXM, calling the cancer journey “challenging” and reflecting on the emotional strain it has placed on their family. She stated, “It’s constant. It’s daily. And I think it’s challenging.” The Bidens have been mindful of Joe's health, with regular check-ups every three months.456
Joe Biden announced his diagnosis of an “aggressive” form of prostate cancer last May, and has been undergoing treatment since then. Despite the challenges, he expressed gratitude for the support he has received, stating, “I want to thank all those who have offered their prayers and support and well-wishes. It’s meant the world to me and to Jill.” The family’s experience with cancer is not new; they previously faced the loss of Beau Biden, Joe's eldest son, to brain cancer in 2015.3
As concerns about Joe Biden's health and mental fitness have surfaced, particularly during his second term and 2024 presidential campaign, the family remains focused on his treatment and well-being.
“Dr. Jill Biden, in a SiriusXM interview, said the cancer requires monitoring every three months and described the journey as 'constant' and 'daily,' referencing her late son Beau. Biden was diagnosed with an aggressive form of prostate cancer last May and has been undergoing treatment, which he said last month was progressing positively.”
