The sad update was confirmed by Joe’s wife, Jill Biden, 75, who previously offered a candid look at her husband’s prognosis during an appearance on SiriusXM’s Let’s Talk Off Camera with Kelly Ripa.
“He’s doing okay,” Jill said while discussing the challenges surrounding Joe’s diagnosis and treatment.
She explained that while some patients with stage 4 prostate cancer can potentially be cured, her husband’s condition is different because the disease has spread.
“When we got out, he was diagnosed with stage four prostate cancer. And, for anyone who’s listening, really, that diagnosis – you can be cured, and you can go through radiation or whatever. You can be cured, and you’ll be fine,” she said.
“Unfortunately for Joe, it metastasized to his bones,” Jill continued. “Which means that he will forever live with cancer.”
