Former President Joe Biden has begun a new phase of radiation therapy for his aggressive prostate cancer diagnosis, according to a spokesperson. The 82-year-old leader is undergoing a five-week treatment plan alongside hormone therapy, as confirmed by NBC News. A source familiar with the matter noted the radiation therapy marks a critical step in his care, following earlier administration of a hormone medication in pill form.
Biden’s medical journey has drawn public attention after he shared a message on social media following his May diagnosis, stating, “Cancer touches us all. Like so many of you, Jill and I have learned that we are strongest in the broken places.” At the time, oncologists suggested his cancer may have remained undiagnosed for years despite its advanced stage.
Recent sightings of Biden with a bandage on his head sparked speculation about additional health concerns. The New York Post reported he underwent Mohs surgery to address skin cancer, a procedure designed to remove affected tissue while preserving healthy areas. No further details about the procedure or his recovery have been disclosed.
