Former United States President Joe Biden’s health is deteriorating as his son Hunter Biden has revealed that the former president’s cancer has metastasized to his bones.
The disclosure came during an interview with the BBC while discussing his father’s ongoing battle with the disease and how it has impacted the family, according to reports.
The illness has continued to take a toll on his health, Hunter said, and it’s painful and hard to see.
He said the cancer has spread from its original site and into his bones and other areas of his body.
Hunter, Biden’s lone surviving son, said the situation had been hard on the family, especially given the pain and weakness of the disease.
He also spoke warmly of his father’s role in the family, describing him as a devoted father, husband and grandfather who remains at the center of the family despite his health challenges.
Hunter said: “I wish he would complain more because it’s no good. The cancer has spread further. It is very painful… very debilitating. Cancer sucks. It’s really sad to see. My dad is the center of our family to this day. “He’s the best father, husband, grandfather.

Biden first revealed his cancer diagnosis in May 2025, roughly four months after leaving office.
The diagnosis was a virulent form of prostate cancer.
The former president later said he was responding well to treatment and thanked people who had continued to pray for him and offered their support during his illness.
Earlier, Biden expressed optimism about his treatment, saying his doctors expected the medication to help control the disease.
He also said he was taking certain medication for a number of weeks as part of his treatment.
