Overview

  • Earlier this month, Biden, 82, was diagnosed with prostate cancer that had metastasized to his bones, prompting his office to describe it as an aggressive form of the disease.
  • His treatment regimen consists of a six-week course of one oral medication followed by a second pill, and imaging shows no organ involvement and strong bone density.
  • Speaking from his Delaware home, the former president said “the prognosis is good” and he was seen at Bradley International Airport in Connecticut telling reporters he is “feeling great.”
  • Biden enlisted one of the world’s leading surgical specialists to oversee his care and monitor his response to therapy.
  • Donald Trump first offered Biden a speedy recovery but later shared a critical Truth Social post accusing him of serving as a frontman for a stolen election.
