Former President Joe Biden said Sunday that his prostate cancer diagnosis has affected his stamina, limiting the number of public appearances he can make to promote his forthcoming presidential memoir.
Biden, who disclosed his diagnosis last year after leaving the White House, wrote on X that his doctors “continue to be encouraged” by his response to treatment. He also acknowledged that “some days are better than others.”
“While writing the book, I was diagnosed with cancer, a disease known all too well to millions of Americans and their families,” Biden, 83, wrote.

“Some days are better than others. It hasn’t stopped me, but sometimes it slows me down. Unfortunately, that means I won’t be able to have as many conversations about my book as I had hoped. Still, I’m hopeful the words on the page will speak for themselves.”
His memoir, “Promise Me, America,” is scheduled to be released Nov. 17.
