Jill Biden: Joe Biden Will Live With Cancer
1 Jun
Summary
- Joe Biden will live with cancer for rest of life.
- Cancer spread to bones, complicating treatment.
- Biden was diagnosed in May 2025 with aggressive prostate cancer.

Jill Biden has shared an update on her husband, former President Joe Biden's, ongoing battle with cancer. She stated that due to the cancer spreading to his bones, Joe Biden will live with the disease for the rest of his life.
During an interview on NBC's "Today," Jill Biden explained that the metastasis to the bones distinguishes her husband's condition from a straightforward prostate cancer diagnosis, which can typically be cured. This spread significantly complicates treatment options.
The former president was diagnosed with an aggressive form of prostate cancer in May 2025. At the time of diagnosis, it had already begun to spread. He underwent radiation therapy in October 2025 and was also receiving hormone therapy. Additionally, a spokesperson announced in September 2025 that he had surgery to treat skin cancer.
