Joe Biden’s cancer has spread into his bones - Hunter

Hunter Biden has disclosed that his father, former U.S. President Joe Biden, is battling prostate cancer that has metastasized to his bones. In an emotional interview, Hunter described the progression of the disease as "very painful and very debilitating in many respects," expressing deep sadness at witnessing his father's deteriorating health.

The cancer has spread, metastasized into his bones and further. It’s very painful and it’s very debilitating in many respects.

"It's really sad to watch," Hunter Biden said, speaking to the BBC. "The only thing that I'd say about my dad, about his health right now, is I wish he would complain more, because it's not good. He is the center of our family… He is our rock."

The former president's cancer diagnosis was first revealed in May of the previous year, less than four months after he left the White House. Hunter Biden emphasized the significant toll the diagnosis has taken on the family.

This update follows comments made by former First Lady Jill Biden in June, who told Today that her husband would "live with cancer the rest of his life." She elaborated, stating, "I think if he had just been diagnosed with prostate cancer, that's one thing because that can be cured, but the fact that it metastasized to his bones, that makes it a whole different story. So I think Joe will live with cancer till the rest of his life."

Joe Biden, 83, has previously undergone radiation and hormone treatments. He also had surgery in September to remove cancerous skin cells. Despite these health challenges, Hunter Biden noted that his father remains actively engaged, speaking publicly on issues he cares about, and continues to express his belief in the country.

He’s still doing his thing. He so believes in this country.
