Former President Joe Biden is facing a serious progression of his prostate cancer, with his son Hunter Biden revealing that the disease has metastasized to his bones and spread further.
Hunter became emotional while discussing his father’s condition, describing the cancer as painful and debilitating. He said watching Biden’s health decline has been particularly difficult for the family.
Joe Biden revealed his prostate cancer diagnosis in May 2025, after leaving the White House. His condition was described at the time as aggressive, and he later underwent radiation treatment.
Hunter said the disease has now progressed beyond the prostate and into his father’s bones.
“It’s really sad to watch,” Hunter said while discussing his father’s health. He added that he wished his father would complain more about what he is experiencing because of the seriousness of his condition.
Despite the progression of his illness, Hunter said Biden has continued to remain engaged with public life and issues that matter to him.
“He’s still doing his thing,” Hunter said, emphasizing his father’s continued belief in the United States and his desire to remain involved.
The disclosure provides a rare personal look at the former president’s health and the emotional impact his illness is having on his family.
Biden’s ongoing cancer battle remains a deeply personal matter for his relatives, who have largely faced the progression of his illness away from public attention.
As Joe Biden and his family continue navigating this difficult period, thoughts and support remain with them as they face the challenges associated with his serious illness.
