President Joe Biden Undergoes Radiation Therapy, Faces Cancer Battle with Strength and Hope
Former president was diagnosed in May with ‘aggressive form’ of cancer and was already taking hormone medication
Former President Joe Biden is undergoing radiation therapy as part of his ongoing fight against prostate cancer — a challenge he has chosen to meet with characteristic courage, grace, and determination.
A spokesperson confirmed on Saturday that Biden, who was diagnosed in May with an aggressive form of prostate cancer, has begun radiation treatment alongside hormone therapy. The treatments are expected to take place over a five-week period, marking the next phase in his recovery journey.
“As part of a comprehensive plan for prostate cancer, President Biden is currently undergoing radiation and hormone therapy,” the spokesperson said. The update, first reported by NBC, offered reassurance that President Biden remains in good spirits and continues to approach his treatment with optimism.
Biden, who had already been taking hormone medication in pill form, has spoken candidly in the past about his diagnosis. When he first addressed the public in May, he expressed faith in his medical team and gratitude for the support he’s received, saying he was “optimistic about the prognosis” and confident that “we are going to be able to beat this.”
His openness about his health reflects a deeply human side of leadership — one that doesn’t hide vulnerability but instead shows how strength can exist alongside struggle. After leaving the White House in January, following Donald Trump’s 2024 election win, Biden returned to his home in Delaware to focus on his health and spend time with family. He will turn 83 next month.
Even amid treatments, Biden has remained engaged with the people who supported him throughout his career. Those close to him say he’s maintained his trademark humor and empathy — often checking in on friends and family before talking about his own condition.
This is not the first time Biden has faced a health scare. In September, he underwent a successful Mohs surgery to remove cancerous skin cells. His willingness to face these challenges head-on continues to inspire many Americans who see in him a reflection of their own battles with illness, aging, and perseverance.
For Biden, this chapter is not defined by disease but by determination. His fight against cancer stands as a reminder that leadership is not only about policies or politics — it’s also about resilience, faith, and the refusal to give up.
