Hunter Biden reveals his father's cancer has spread: "It's very painful and it's very debilitating"
Hunter Biden, one of former President Joe Biden's sons, told BBC News that his father's cancer has spread, describing it as "very painful" and "very debilitating." Dr. Jon LaPook joins with more.
WASHINGTON: In a recent interview with BBC Newsnight, Joe Biden's son Hunter revealed that his father's cancer has not only persisted but has also spread further, according to the Post. Just four months after Joe Biden left office as the oldest sitting president in May 2025, he was diagnosed with an aggressive form of prostate cancer that had already metastasised to his bones.
Despite beginning treatment involving radiation and hormone therapy, which the 83-year-old described as going "really well" during the announcement of his upcoming memoir, the cancer has continued to spread. In the wide-ranging interview, Hunter Biden, appearing emotional at times, stated that the disease has metastasised into his bones and beyond, causing significant pain and debilitation for his father.
However, despite the challenges, Hunter Biden emphasized that his father still remains committed to his country.
