continuing battle with prostate cancer, his spokesperson confirmed on Saturday.
Biden, who turns 83 next month, was diagnosed with metastatic prostate cancer in May this year. His medical team described the illness as aggressive but hormone-sensitive, giving doctors confidence that it can respond well to treatment.
“As part of a treatment plan for prostate cancer, President Biden is currently undergoing radiation therapy and hormone treatment,” his spokesperson said.
A Continuing Health Battle
This latest update comes months after Biden underwent Mohs surgery in September — a delicate procedure used to remove cancerous skin cells while preserving as much healthy tissue as possible.
Despite his ongoing treatments, sources close to the former president say Biden remains optimistic and determined, continuing to stay engaged in family life and closely following US political affairs.
A Message of Strength
Biden’s cancer diagnosis was made public in May, when his team shared that he wanted to “face the illness with transparency and courage.” His doctors have since confirmed that his treatment is progressing according to plan.
The former president’s journey is seen by many as a reflection of his resilience and willpower — qualities he’s long been known for throughout his decades in public service.
As he continues his treatment, messages of support have poured in from across the political spectrum, with many wishing him strength and recovery in the weeks ahead.
“He’s fighting with hope and grace,” one aide shared. “And that’s exactly who Joe Biden has always been.”
