Hunter Biden on his father Joe Biden’s health: “Very painful”

Son Hunter on Joe Biden

“The cancer has spread”

Former US President Joe Biden has had prostate cancer since 2025. Now his son Hunter gave an update.

The former US president’s prostate cancer Joe Biden has spread further and is causing severe pain, according to his son Hunter. “The cancer has spread, metastasized into his bones and beyond,” Hunter Biden said in an interview with the British broadcaster BBC published on Friday.

“It’s very painful and very debilitating in many ways.” A spokesman for the 83-year-old former president declined to comment on the interview on Saturday.

Hunter Biden was very emotional in the interview: “It’s really sad to see it,” said Biden. “The only thing I would say about my father and his current health is: I wish he would complain more often because things are not going well for him.” But his father would always work, and his memoirs, “Promise Me, America,” are due to be published after the midterm elections in November.

The Democrat Biden made it public in May 2025 – almost four months after he left the White House – that he was participating in an aggressive form of Prostate cancer suffer. This also attacked the bones. In October, a spokesman said that the ex-president was undergoing radiation and hormone therapy.

Biden’s physical and mental condition had repeatedly been the subject of discussion during his term in office from 2021 to 2025. He last appeared in June at the inauguration of the Presidential Library of Barack Obama in Chicago publicly appearing. During Obama’s term, Biden served as vice president from 2009 to 2017.
