Hunter Biden Reveals Former President Joe Biden's Cancer Has Spread and Is PainfulPreviousNext

Former US President Joe Biden's aggressive prostate cancer has spread to his bones and beyond, causing significant pain and debilitation, his son Hunter Biden revealed in a recent BBC interview. Hunter described the situation as emotionally difficult for the family and expressed a wish that his father would complain more about his condition. Despite the illness, Biden, 83, remains publicly engaged and is preparing to publish a memoir. Biden was diagnosed in May 2025, shortly after leaving office, and is undergoing radiation and hormone therapy.
