The cancer affecting former US President Joe Biden has metastasized further, spreading into his bones and beyond, his son Hunter Biden revealed in a recent interview. Hunter Biden shared the somber update with BBC Newsnight, describing his father's condition as "very painful, and it's very debilitating in many respects."

Despite the progression of the disease, Hunter Biden noted that his father "is still out there. He's still doing his thing." He attributed this resilience to Joe Biden's profound belief in the United States. The former president, who served as the oldest sitting president, was diagnosed with an aggressive form of prostate cancer that had spread to his bones in May 2025, just four months after leaving office.

Joe Biden had previously undergone treatment, including radiation and hormone therapy, which he had described as going "really well" in the preceding month. The interview with Hunter Biden, published late Friday, offered a candid glimpse into the personal struggles of the former president, with his son appearing emotional at times while discussing his father's health.
