Joe Biden’s Cancer Has Spread and Is Causing Significant Pain, Son Reveals

Former President Joe Biden‘s prostate cancer has advanced beyond his bones and is now causing considerable pain, according to his son Hunter Biden. Speaking in a televised interview, Hunter described the illness as having spread further into his father’s body, calling it both painful and physically limiting. A spokesperson for the 83-year-old declined to comment further on the remarks.

Timeline of the Diagnosis

Biden first disclosed his prostate cancer diagnosis in mid-2025, shortly after leaving office, revealing at the time that the disease had already reached his bones. By last fall, his team confirmed he had begun radiation and hormone-based treatment to manage the condition.

Public Life Continues Despite Illness

Even while managing his health, Biden has continued making public appearances, including attending the opening of Barack Obama’s presidential library earlier this year in Chicago, where he once served as vice president. He remains the oldest individual ever elected U.S. president. Questions about his physical and mental fitness were a recurring theme throughout his time in the White House. Biden’s memoir is set to be published in mid-November.
