Hunter Biden: Father's Cancer Has Spread, Causing Pain

Hunter Biden has revealed that his father, former U.S. President Joe Biden, is experiencing significant pain as his prostate cancer has spread to other parts of his body. In an emotional interview broadcast by the BBC on Friday, Hunter described the toll the disease has taken on the 83-year-old.

"The cancer has spread, metastasized into his bones and further," Hunter said. "It's very painful and it's very debilitating in many respects."

Joe Biden, who was the oldest person to serve as U.S. president, disclosed his diagnosis in May of last year, just months after leaving the White House. His age and health were recurring concerns during his term, and he faced criticism over the handling of his fitness for office, particularly after a poor debate performance that led him to abandon his re-election bid.

Hunter said watching his father struggle has been difficult for the family. "It's really sad to watch," he said. "The only thing that I'd say about my dad, about his health right now, is I wish he would complain more, because it's not good."

Despite the pain, Hunter said his father remains engaged and vocal on public issues. "He's still doing his thing," Hunter said. "He so believes in this country."

The former president is also planning to publish a memoir, "Promise Me, America," after the mid-term elections.
