Biden’s Cancer Has Spread To His Bones, Son Reveals…
Former United States President Joe Biden’s prostate cancer has spread to his bones, with his son, Hunter Biden, revealing that the disease has left his father experiencing significant pain.
Key Highlights
- Biden’s cancer has spread to bones
- Hunter reveals father’s severe pain
- Biden remains active despite illness
- Former president underwent cancer treatment
- Hunter defends Biden’s controversial pardon
Hunter disclosed this in an emotional interview with the BBC on Friday while discussing the former president’s health.
“It’s really hard. It’s really sad to watch,” Hunter said.
He explained that the cancer had metastasised to Biden’s bones, describing the condition as “very painful” and “very debilitating in many respects.”
Despite the progression of the disease, Hunter said his father remained active and continued with his daily activities.
The disclosure comes weeks after former First Lady Jill Biden discussed her husband’s condition, saying he would likely live with cancer for the rest of his life.
Biden’s office announced in May 2025 that the former president had been diagnosed with an aggressive form of prostate cancer that had already spread to his bones.
He subsequently underwent radiation therapy and hormone treatment.
The Biden family announced in September 2025 that he had completed a course of the treatments, although it remained unclear whether further cancer care would be required.
Hunter, who became emotional while discussing his father, described Biden as a strong source of support for the family.
“He is our rock,” he said.
The former president had also previously received treatment for cancerous skin cells, with his office announcing that he underwent surgery to remove them.

Hunter also addressed the controversial pardon granted to him by his father shortly before Joe Biden left office.
The pardon covered federal offences Hunter may have committed between January 1, 2014, and December 1, 2024.
At the time, Hunter was facing federal gun charges and had pleaded guilty to tax-related offences.
Although the pardon attracted criticism, Hunter said he remained grateful to his father for the decision.
He had previously said on California Governor Gavin Newsom’s podcast that Biden’s decision demonstrated that the former president had chosen his son over concerns about his political legacy.
