‘Very Debilitating’: Hunter Biden Says His Father’s Cancer Has Spread Further
Hunter Biden shared an update on former President Joe Biden’s condition on Friday, explaining that his cancer is worsening.
President Joe Biden's son, Hunter Biden, revealed on the BBC's Newsnight that his father's cancer has progressed further, spreading to his bones and becoming more debilitating. In the interview, Hunter Biden described the emotional toll of witnessing his 83-year-old father battle the disease, which was first disclosed to the public in May 2025.
While he did not specify the exact locations of the cancer's spread, the former President's office has not provided further information on the extent of the disease. Joe Biden had undergone surgery to remove skin cancer lesions in September 2024 and completed radiation therapy for prostate cancer in October of the same year. Jill Biden, in an interview with Kelly Ripa, stated that their family recognizes the cancer will be a lifelong companion for Joe and that it is a daily challenge.
Hunter Biden acknowledged that his father's well-being may have been affected by the strain of his own addiction and its consequences. Despite the criticism and controversy surrounding his father's pardon, Hunter Biden reaffirmed his support for Joe Biden, emphasizing that his father remains committed to fighting for the country.
