Hunter Biden discusses father's worsening cancer condition as former president continues to speak out

Former US President Joe Biden's son, Hunter Biden, revealed in a BBC interview that his father's prostate cancer has spread to his bones, causing significant pain and debilitation. Hunter expressed his emotional distress over his father's deteriorating health during the interview, which aired late Friday. The cancer, initially diagnosed in May 2025, has metastasized into the bones, making it more challenging for Joe Biden to manage.

At 83 years old, Joe Biden, the oldest person to serve as US president, revealed his prostate cancer diagnosis shortly after leaving the White House. Following the announcement, Joe Biden shared a photo on X, expressing gratitude for the love and support from his family, including his wife Jill. Jill Biden confirmed that cancer will be a lifelong companion for her husband, as the disease had already spread to his bones before detection.

She emphasized the constant need for testing and medication, stating that cancer is a daily challenge for anyone who has gone through the journey. Hunter Biden acknowledged the difficult nature of his father's condition, wishing his father would complain more, as it is not good. Despite the cancer news, Joe Biden remains active, speaking publicly about the issues that matter to him.

He is also preparing to publish a memoir, titled "Promise Me, America," set to release after the 2026 midterm elections.
