Joe Biden Was Diagnosed With Prostate Cancer Last Year
Joe Biden underwent radiation therapy last year.
"We’re the only nation in history built not on ethnicity, or blood, or geography but on an idea. That’s always been what makes us exceptional. We chose that path 250 years ago but that’s where the work began, not where it ended," he continued. "Happy 250th birthday, America. Our story isn’t finished. Let’s keep writing it together."
Joe was diagnosed with stage four prostate cancer that spread to his bones in May 2025.
The politician underwent radiation therapy in October 2025 and was also being treated with hormone therapy at the time.
Jill Biden Opened Up About Joe Biden's Health in a Candid Interview
Jill Biden spoke with Craig Melvin last month.
Jill got candid about her husband's health battle on June 1 during an interview with Craig Melvin on the Today show, revealing her husband is "doing OK."
"I think if he had just been, you know, diagnosed with prostate cancer, that’s one thing, because that can be cured," she said. "But the fact that it metastasized to his bones, that makes it a whole different story."
She continued: "So I think Joe will live with cancer 'till the rest of his life."
“The doctors did assured us he was healthy,” Jill then told the NBC anchor. “And I saw him doing the job every single day. Every single day, he got up, he went into the office, he did the job. I saw him work hours into the night. Yes, I did see him slowing down a little bit when he got tired. Did he stutter a little bit at night? Yeah, sure, but he was still doing the job."
