Former President Joe Biden is receiving radiation and hormone therapy as part of a new phase of treating the aggressive form of prostate cancer he was diagnosed with after leaving office, a spokesperson said Saturday (Oct. 11, local time).
Last month, Biden, 82, also had a skin cancer treatment known as Mohs surgery. A large bandage on his forehead was visible in public appearances at that time.
Biden's spokesperson stated: "As part of his prostate cancer treatment plan, Biden is currently undergoing radiation therapy and hormone treatment." The radiation therapy is expected to last for five weeks, marking a new phase in his treatment.
