Summary
Jill Biden said Joe Biden was getting up to seven times a night to use the bathroom before his aggressive prostate cancer was diagnosed in May 2025.
She said she had raised the issue with White House doctors and later pushed him to seek more care in Philadelphia after the symptoms continued following his January 2025 exit from office.
Biden, 83, was found to have a prostate nodule after urinary symptoms emerged, and his office said the cancer had already spread to his bones by the time it was detected.
Jill Biden said treatment remains ongoing with testing and medicines every three months, while Biden has said he is responding well to radiation and hormone therapy.
