Jill Biden Gives a Rare Update on Husband Joe Biden’s Stage 4 Cancer Battle
Jill Biden said doctors are monitoring the former president every three months as he receives a six-week pill course and other treatment.
On yesterday, Jill Biden reported that former President Joe Biden's aggressive stage 4 prostate cancer has metastasized to his bones, noting he will "forever live with cancer" while undergoing ongoing management.
Jill Biden revealed she first noticed symptoms in January 2025, but doctors did not perform a PSA test because standard guidelines often exclude men over 70; diagnosis was confirmed in May 2025 after leaving the White House.
Since beginning radiation and treatment in October 2025, Joe Biden has maintained a rigorous schedule involving oral medication and quarterly testing, with Jill Biden describing the process as "constant."
Joe Biden stated last month he is "spending a lot of time with my family" and responding well to treatment, while announcing his new memoir "Promise Me, America" releasing this November.
Prostate cancer affects about 1 in 8 men in America during their lifetime, according to the American Cancer Society, a prevalence the family understands deeply following Beau Biden's 2015 death from brain cancer.
