‘Some days are better’: Former President Joe Biden shares emotional update about cancer battle, announces memoir release

Former US President Joe Biden shared an emotional update about his cancer battle on social media on November 9. The 83-year-old discussed his ongoing recovery, upcoming memoir and thanked Americans for their support during his treatment. He admitted that his health condition has affected his daily activities, with some days being better than others.

Biden explained that cancer has not stopped him from working, though it sometimes slows him down. His doctors remain encouraged by his response to treatment, and he thanked supporters for their prayers and messages, which have meant a great deal to Jill Biden and their family.

The book covers his presidency, major challenges and important decisions, as well as America's identity and democratic values.
