Joe Biden Revealed His Radiation Treatment Was Working 'as Intended'
Joe Biden urged men to have the 'hard' conversations with their doctors.
Joe urged men not to "put off" conversations with their doctors, adding that he was "deeply grateful" to his medical team for helping "control" his cancer.
"The radiation treatment from last fall worked as intended, and I continue to do the things I care about, like finishing my memoir," he concluded.

Do it for yourself, and do it for the people who love you."
Joe Biden Was Diagnosed With Cancer in May 2025
Joe Biden revealed the cancer had spread to his bones when announcing his diagnosis.
Joe's "aggressive" stage four prostate cancer diagnosis was announced in May 2025, months after he left the White House earlier that year.
"Last week, President Joe Biden was seen for a new finding of a prostate nodule after experiencing increasing urinary symptoms," his office announced on May 18, 2015. "On Friday, he was diagnosed with prostate cancer, characterized by a Gleason score of 9 (Grade Group 5) with metastasis to the bone. While this represents a more aggressive form of the disease, the cancer appears to be hormone-sensitive, which allows for effective management."
