Biden’s cancer diagnosis was first publicly revealed in May, following urinary symptoms. Tests showed the disease had metastasized to his bones, a serious progression that adds complexity to treatment. Medical reports indicate the cancer had a Gleason score of 9, placing it among the most aggressive forms of prostate cancer.
Since the diagnosis, the 82-year-old former president has undergone a combination of radiation and hormone therapy, a standard approach for advanced prostate cancer. Sources close to the family report that Biden has remained in good spirits, drawing strength from his family, faith, and resilience.
This follows a minor health procedure last month, when doctors removed several skin cancer lesions from his forehead. His team described the surgery as routine, and he recovered well.
Though Biden has stepped back from public life since leaving the White House, he has remained visible through family updates and occasional appearances. Monday’s post drew an outpouring of support across the political spectrum, with countless messages of prayers and encouragement.
As Ashley emphasized, her father has faced one of the most challenging battles of his life, but through it all, “he’s been so damn brave.”
