Hunter Biden revealed in a BBC interview that his father’s prostate cancer has advanced beyond his bones, leaving the former president in significant pain.
He grew emotional while describing the illness as “very painful” and “debilitating,” noting how difficult it has been to watch.
Despite the challenges, Hunter emphasized that his father remains the heart of the Biden family, admired as a devoted husband, father, and grandfather.
Joe Biden, now 83, was diagnosed in May 2025 after experiencing urinary symptoms. Doctors discovered the cancer had already spread to his bones, and he has since undergone radiation and hormone therapy.
While Biden initially expressed optimism about his treatment, his wife Jill recently explained that the disease requires constant monitoring, with regular testing and medication every few months.
She also shared that his symptoms include frequent nighttime trips to the bathroom, underscoring the daily toll of the illness.
The family’s experience echoes their earlier loss of Beau Biden, who died of brain cancer in 2015.
Hunter did not provide further details about changes to his father’s treatment, but his comments highlighted the emotional strain of watching a loved one endure such a difficult journey.
Jill Biden described the process as challenging yet familiar, given her family’s history with cancer, while Hunter praised his father’s resilience in continuing to anchor the family despite the disease’s progression.
