Hunter Biden says his father’s prostate cancer is causing him pain even as he continues to speak out

Hunter Biden said the former president’s cancer has spread to his bones and is causing significant pain, despite ongoing treatment.

  • Joe Biden's office announced the diagnosis in May 2025 after urinary symptoms revealed a small nodule on his prostate, characterized by a Gleason score of 9 and metastasis to the bone—an aggressive form of the disease.
  • Former First Lady Jill Biden recently explained that her husband requires testing every three months and will live with the cancer permanently; she noted "he's doing OK" despite the metastasis to his bones.
  • Despite his health condition, Hunter claimed his father remains active, "speaking publicly about the issues that are important to him" and continues to believe strongly in the country.
  • Hunter also addressed his past battle with addiction, describing it as "hell on earth" and noting he "wasnt reaching for anything except oblivion" during that period, contrasting his recovery with his father's current struggle.
