Joe Biden, 82, undergoing radiation therapy and hormone treatment amid ‘aggressive’ cancer battle

Former president Joe Biden is taking a new approach to his battle with prostate cancer.

“As part of a treatment plan for prostate cancer, President Biden is currently undergoing radiation therapy and hormone treatment,” his spokesperson told NBC News in a statement on Saturday.

The radiation treatment is expected to last five weeks and marks “a new point in his care,” a source also told the outlet, which reported he’s already been taking a pill form of hormone medication.

The 46th president is “doing well,” his team also told the Post. 

A rep for Biden didn’t immediately respond to Page Six’s request for comment.

Last month, the politician’s spokesperson confirmed he underwent surgery to remove cancerous cells from his skin.

Biden was diagnosed with an “aggressive form” of prostate cancer in May.

“President Joe Biden was seen for a new finding of a prostate nodule after experiencing increasing urinary symptoms,” his personal office’s statement read.

“He was diagnosed with prostate cancer, characterized by a Gleason score of 9 (Grade Group 5) with metastasis to the bone,” it continued, meaning the disease has spread to his bones.

“While this represents a more aggressive form of the disease, the cancer appears to be hormone-sensitive, which allows for effective management,” the statement added.

Biden said at the time on Instagram, “Cancer touches us all. Like so many of you, Jill and I have learned that we are strongest in the broken places. Thank you for lifting us up with love and support.”

Biden’s son, Beau Biden, died of brain cancer in 2015.
