Joe Biden's cancer is 'very painful,' son reveals

Hunter Biden has disclosed that his father, former U.S. President Joe Biden, is experiencing significant pain and debilitation due to his battle with prostate cancer. In an interview with the BBC, Hunter Biden described the illness as "very painful" and "very debilitating," revealing that the cancer has spread to his bones and other parts of his body.

My father is, to this day, the center of our family. He is the best father, the best husband, the best grandfather.

Joe Biden, 83, was diagnosed with aggressive prostate cancer with bone metastasis after leaving the White House. Despite undergoing treatment, he has continued to engage in some public duties, including participating in the inauguration of the Obama Presidential Center in Chicago in June. Hunter Biden expressed a wish for his father to complain more about his health struggles, stating, "The only thing I say about my father, about his health at this moment, is that I wish he would complain more."

The former president's health had been a subject of scrutiny throughout his term, particularly concerning his age and fitness for office. These concerns ultimately led him to withdraw from his re-election campaign and endorse Kamala Harris. Before leaving office, Biden controversially pardoned his son, Hunter, who had been convicted of illegal weapons possession and faced tax-related charges, despite having previously pledged not to do so. Hunter Biden acknowledged the pardon, calling it "not a good thing" for his father's legacy.
