Biden speaks of the battle with cancer: Some days are better than others, my illness is slowing me down

Former president of the United States, Joe Biden, has spoken publicly about his state of health and the struggle he is developing with prostate cancer, acknowledging that the disease is affecting his daily activities. In a statement published on Sunday, November 8th, Biden has indicated that because of the state of health, he will be forced to limit public presentations for promoting his new book with memories from the presidential period.

Some days are better than others. My illness hasn’t stopped, but sometimes it slows me down, Biden declared.

He has stressed that despite health difficulties, he remains determined to continue his activities, although he would not be able to participate in as many discussions and interviews as he planned.

Unfortunately, I won’t be able to have as many conversations for my book as I had hoped. However, I hope that the words written on the page speak on their own, have been expressed by the former American president.

Beden, who turns 84 on November 20, was diagnosed with prostate cancer in May 2025, just months after completing his mandate at the White House.

By the time the diagnosis was confirmed, his office had announced an aggressive form of disease that had spread to the bones. However, it had become known that cancer was sensitive to hormone treatment, creating opportunities for its management.

The state of health of the former president has been in focus even after his departure, while family has spoken publicly about the difficulties he is facing.

In August, his son, Hunter Biden, had declared that the disease had spread further, describing him as emotionally serious to his family as his father’s condition.

In spite of this, Beden has continued preparations for publishing his new book, titled Promise Me, Americaı, which is expected to go on sale on November 17th.

The book includes memories of his four years as president of the United States, the challenges his administration faced, political decisions and the role of America in international developments.

Biden has made it known that through this book he intends to explain the decisions he has made during his presidential mandate and obedience to the importance of American democracy.

The former president also stressed that doctors remain encouraged by the way his body is responding to treatment, though the battle with the disease continues.
