WASHINGTON – The health condition of former U.S. President Joe Biden has reportedly deteriorated significantly, according to his son, Hunter. Biden, who was diagnosed with an aggressive form of prostate cancer in May 2025, is now experiencing pain and the disease has spread further, according to Hunter. Hunter Biden spoke about his father's current condition in an interview with British broadcaster BBC.
Hunter Biden stated that the cancer had metastasized to the bones and then spread to other parts of the body. "It is very painful and, in many ways, very debilitating," he described his father's condition. He also admitted that it is very difficult for the family to watch the disease progress.
"It is very sad to see," said Hunter Biden. He also expressed a desire for his father to talk more openly about his health problems and acknowledge the pain he is experiencing. However, according to him, Joe Biden continues to be publicly active despite his health complications, commenting on political and social issues.
Biden's diagnosis was announced in May 2025. At that time, his office stated that doctors had discovered an aggressive form of prostate cancer with metastasis to the bones. A high Gleason score of 9 was also reported, which corresponds to a very aggressive tumor. Doctors also noted that the tumor is hormone-sensitive, which allows for its treatment and control.
The new information therefore suggests further progression of the disease. However, Hunter Biden did not provide details about specific medical procedures or his father's prognosis. According to available reports, Biden continues to undergo treatment and is trying to remain active in public life despite his health condition.
Joe Biden became the oldest person ever to hold the office of President of the United States. His health condition has been a subject of public attention throughout his presidency, particularly due to his age and physical fitness. The current information about the further spread of cancer once again raises questions not only about his health but also about his ability to continue with public activities.
According to Hunter Biden, the Biden family is experiencing this situation very difficultly. Nevertheless, according to available information, the former president continues to appear in public and intends to remain active.
