Former US President Joe Biden’s prostate cancer has propagated to his bones and causes him physical pain, according to a statement made by his son, Hunter Biden, in an interview with the British broadcaster BBC. Despite the illness, the former president continues to speak publicly on matters of public interest, Hunter Biden noted.
Health Battles and Public Scrutiny During the Presidency
Joe Biden, aged 83, was the oldest person to have occupied the office of US President. Throughout his mandate, his age was a source of concern and made the subject of debates, particularly when he wished to run in the elections. Biden’s entourage was accused of having concealed the extent of his health problems after he made a disastrous impression during an electoral debate with the candidate who was going to become his successor, the Republican candidate Donald Trump.
Did you know? Joe Biden announced in May of last year that he was suffering from an aggressive form of prostate cancer, for which he was following a treatment.
Disease Progression and Treatment Outlook
Today, the cancer has metastasized. This leaves one to suppose that no treatment is possible anymore, even though Hunter did not wish to express himself on this subject.
Upcoming Memoir Release
Last month, Joe Biden announced that he would publish his memoirs, entitled Promise Me, America after the midterm elections.
