Hunter Biden grew emotional when speaking about his father's "painful" cancer, revealing the disease "has spread, metastasized into his bones and further."
“It’s very painful and it’s very debilitating in many respects,” his son, Hunter, detailed during a recent interview.
Biden, 83, revealed in May 2025, less than four months after he left the White House, that he had been diagnosed with an "aggressive form" of prostate cancer.
In October, his team then revealed he was undergoing radiation treatment and hormone therapy.

Hunter said the diagnosis had been difficult for the family.
“It’s really sad to watch,” Biden said. “The only thing that I’d say about my dad, about his health right now, is I wish he would complain more, because it’s not good.”
But Hunter said the former-President remains “out there”, speaking publicly about the issues that are important to him.
“He’s still doing his thing,” he said. “He so believes in this country.”
Hunter Biden has made a viral social media comeback. He has recently taken on critics of his father and spoke candidly about his past drug addition on X.
He even challenged Donald Trump's two eldest to a cage fight. In a video on Instagram, Hunter said he was "100% in" for fighting the US President's eldest sons Don Jr. and Eric.
President Biden granted his son a full and unconditional pardon in December 2024, despite repeatedly saying beforehand that he would not use the powers of the presidency to intervene in his son's legal cases.
Biden was the oldest person to win the U.S. presidency at the time of his election in 2020 at 78-years-old.
His physical health and mental acuity drew major scrutiny during his 2021 to 2025 leadership..
In June, Biden attended the dedication of Barack Obama's presidential library in Chicago. He served as Obama's vice president from 2009 to 2017.
Biden's presidential memoir is scheduled for release on November 17.
