Hunter Biden Reveals Toll of Joe Biden’s Cancer Fight: ‘Sad To Watch’
“My dad is and to this day remains the center of our family,” Hunter Biden said, calling the former president “our rock.”
In a recent interview on BBC Newsnight, Hunter Biden, 56, shared the emotional impact of watching his father, former President Joe Biden, endure a grueling battle with stage 4 prostate cancer. The cancer, which has metastasized to his bones, has proven to be both debilitating and painful, yet Joe remains committed to his duties and continues to believe in the nation.
Hunter described his father as the "rock" of their family, emphasizing the profound impact Joe has had on all of their lives. The former president's emotional state is such that Hunter admits he wishes Joe would complain more about his health, as the cancer has severely impacted him. Despite the diagnosis, Joe continues to fight the disease and has undergone radiation therapy and hormone therapy at the University of Pennsylvania's Radiation Oncology clinic.
Jill Biden, Joe's wife, explained that while Joe continues to fight against the disease, the metastasis to his bones means he will live with cancer for the rest of his life. She mentioned that he needs to be tested every three months and be constantly monitored, but added that he is doing "OK."
Hunter also spoke about Joe Biden's controversial pardon of him before leaving office, stating that while it was not ideal for Joe's legacy or the nation, he is grateful for his father's actions. He defended the pardon, arguing that Joe intended to protect him from becoming a target of the incoming Trump administration. Hunter further opened up about his own battle with addiction, revealing a time when he consumed nearly a gallon of vodka daily and smoked crack cocaine almost every 15 minutes, describing it as his "hell on earth."
