Joe Biden’s Team Shares Heartbreaking Health Update
Joe Biden’s spokesperson has released a new statement regarding the former president’s ongoing battle with cancer, months after he first revealed his diagnosis.
Back in May, the 82-year-old announced that he had been diagnosed with an “aggressive” form of prostate cancer and had begun several treatment regimens to fight the disease.
In an emotional message at the time, Biden said:
“Cancer touches us all. Like so many of you, Jill and I have learned that we are strongest in the broken places. Thank you for lifting us up with love and support.”
Reports from earlier this year indicated that the cancer had already spread to his bones at the time of diagnosis.
Now, Biden’s team has shared a rare update on his condition.
Having stepped down from office in January as the oldest serving president in U.S. history, Biden’s health has remained a frequent topic of public discussion. His decision to withdraw from the 2024 re-election race allowed Vice President Kamala Harris to step in as the Democratic nominee.
Biden has long been a passionate advocate for cancer research, a cause deeply personal to him following the loss of his eldest son, Beau, to brain cancer in 2015. In recent months, however, Biden has largely retreated from public appearances, sparking growing concern among supporters.
Current President Donald Trump has repeatedly criticized the former leader, accusing Biden’s team of “concealing the truth about his health”—claims Biden dismissed as politically motivated distractions.
According to the latest statement from his spokesperson, Biden is currently undergoing hormone therapy and radiation treatment as part of his ongoing cancer care.
“President Biden is receiving hormone treatment and radiation therapy as part of his regimen for prostate cancer,” the spokesperson confirmed. “The cancer appears to be hormone-sensitive and can be effectively managed.”
Despite the serious diagnosis, Biden has remained optimistic.
“It’s just a matter of taking one particular pill for the next six weeks and then another,” he previously explained. “The outlook is good. We’re working on everything. I feel good.”
According to the National Institutes of Health, prostate cancer is the second leading cause of cancer-related deaths among men in the United States.
While the road ahead remains uncertain, Biden’s resilience and determination continue to inspire many who are facing their own battles with the disease.
