Joe Biden's Cancer Has Spread and He's in 'Serious Pain,' Hunter Reveals
PUBLISHED Sep 2, 2026, 9:52 AM ET
Former United States President Joe Biden faces an increasingly severe health challenge as his advanced prostate cancer has metastasized into his bones and further, according to his son, Hunter Biden. During an interview with the British Broadcasting Corporation program Newsnight, Hunter Biden reported that the condition is intensely painful and debilitating for the eighty-three-year-old former leader, creating significant emotional strain for his family. The disclosure follows the initial public diagnosis revealed in May two thousand twenty-five, shortly after Biden completed his presidential term, which at the time included bone metastasis and subsequent medical interventions involving radiation and hormone therapies. Medical specialists note that advanced bone metastases commonly generate profound chronic discomfort and skeletal fragility. While official medical updates regarding former executives typically originate from designated spokespeople, this interview offers a rare personal perspective on the physical toll of advanced oncological illness. The development transpired concurrently with broader national discussions in Washington regarding federal budget legislation and appropriations debates.
