Hunter Biden says his father’s prostate cancer is causing him pain even as he continues to speak out

LONDON (AP) — Former U.S. President Joe Biden ’s prostate cancer has spread to other parts of his body and is causing him pain, even as he continues to speak out on public issues, his son Hunter said in an interview.

Former U.S. President Joe Biden's prostate cancer has advanced to other parts of his body and is causing him considerable pain, according to his son Hunter Biden. In a candid interview with the BBC, Hunter expressed his emotional distress over his father's condition, describing it as "very sad" to witness.

Hunter explained that the cancer has metastasized into Joe Biden's bones, making it both painful and debilitating. The 83-year-old former president, who served as the oldest man to hold the office, has been a subject of concern during his four-year tenure. His health issues led to intense criticism, particularly after he abandoned his re-election bid following a poorly received debate against Donald Trump.

Joe Biden disclosed his prostate cancer diagnosis in May of the previous year, less than four months after leaving the White House. Hunter acknowledged that the news has been difficult for the family, stating, "It's really sad to watch." He added that he wishes his father would complain more about his health, as it appears to be worsening.

Despite his father's declining health, Hunter emphasized that Joe Biden continues to speak publicly about the issues he holds dear, driven by his strong belief in the country. The former president is set to publish a memoir, "Promise Me, America," after the upcoming mid-term elections.
