Joe Biden receiving radiation therapy for prostate cancer: spokesperson
The former US president’s office said in May that he had been diagnosed with an aggressive form of prostate cancer
“As part of a treatment plan for prostate cancer, President Biden is currently undergoing radiation therapy and hormone treatment,” the spokesperson said.
In May, the 82-year-old ex-president’s office announced that Biden had been diagnosed with an aggressive form of prostate cancer that had spread to his bones after he experienced urinary symptoms and a prostate nodule was found.
“Cancer touches us all. Like so many of you, Jill and I have learned that we are strongest in the broken places,” Biden, whose son Beau Biden died of cancer in 2015, said at the time in a social media post.
“Thank you for lifting us up with love and support,” he said.
