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

Former U.S. President Joe Biden's prostate cancer has progressed to other parts of his body and is causing him pain, despite his ongoing public advocacy, according to his son Hunter Biden. In a recent interview with the BBC, Hunter described the situation as very sad to witness, stating that the cancer has metastasized into his bones and is both debilitating and painful.

Joe Biden, who was the oldest U.S. president at 83, had faced significant concern about his age during his four-year term. His disclosure of the cancer diagnosis in May of the previous year, just four months after leaving office, drew intense criticism for alleged attempts to conceal the severity of his health issues, particularly following his withdrawal from a re-election bid after a poor debate against Donald Trump.

The diagnosis has been emotionally challenging for the family, according to Hunter Biden, who wished his father would complain more about his health. Despite the pain, Joe Biden remains actively involved in public speaking about the issues he cares about. He is set to publish a memoir titled "Promise Me, America" after the upcoming mid-term elections.
