Medical reports described the cancer as having a Gleason score of 9, classifying it among the most aggressive forms of prostate cancer. Since then, Biden has undergone a combination of radiation and hormone therapy, a standard but demanding approach for advanced cases.
Despite the physical toll, those close to the family say the former president has remained remarkably strong and optimistic. “He’s leaning on his family, faith, and inner strength,” one source said.
This isn’t Biden’s first health hurdle this year. Just weeks earlier, he underwent a routine procedure to remove small skin cancer lesions from his forehead. Doctors confirmed a smooth recovery and emphasized his commitment to ongoing care.
Although he stepped back from public life after leaving office, Biden continues to appear occasionally through family updates and heartfelt public messages. Ashley’s post drew widespread support from Americans across the political spectrum, uniting well-wishers in shared empathy and respect for his courage.
While doctors have not released details about Biden’s long-term outlook, his family’s message remains unwavering: he is fighting with strength, faith, and heart.
As Ashley Biden put it best, “He’s been so damn brave.”
