Reports have surfaced raising concerns among Joe Biden’s close friends regarding his ongoing battle with a severe form of prostate cancer.
While his aides have expressed confidence in his current health status, some individuals close to Biden have expressed worries about his noticeable fatigue, attributing it to the rigorous medical treatments he is undergoing.
According to The Washington Post, four friends who have been in contact with Biden in recent months have noted a lack of updates on his health condition from him directly.
These friends shared with the publication that Biden has occasionally appeared more exhausted over recent weeks, which they believe is linked to both the cancer itself and the demanding treatment regimen he is enduring.
Biden, who is 83, is reportedly continuing to receive radiation therapy for Stage 4 prostate cancer that has spread to his bones. Despite the challenges, his aides insist that he remains active and deeply involved in his engagements.
A fifth person, however, told the outlet that Biden is active and engaged and remains “encouraged and positive about his prognosis given his positive response to treatment.”
The aides also maintained that the 83-year-old was doing well and continuing his work, including writing his memoir and preparing for upcoming public appearances.
Biden is scheduled to travel to South Carolina on Feb. 27 to deliver remarks marking the sixth anniversary of his primary victory in the state.

In 2025, Biden’s office announced that he had been diagnosed with stage 4 prostate cancer that has metastasized to the bone — something medical experts consider “incurable.”
At the time of the initial announcement, his office said the cancer was given a Gleason score of 9 — on a scale of 6 to 10 — meaning it is among the most aggressive forms and more likely to spread quickly, more likely to the spine.
Biden’s team said on Oct. 11, 2025, that he was undergoing radiation therapy at Penn Medicine Radiation Oncology in Philadelphia. He had already been receiving hormone therapy in pill form.

On Oct. 20, 2025, Biden rang the ceremonial bell after completing his course of radiation treatment — a moment his daughter, Ashley, described as a small celebration in his fight against the disease.
In September 2025, Biden also underwent surgery to remove several skin cancer lesions from his head.Â
Despite his diagnosis, Biden has continued to attend major events.
In April 2025, he attended the funeral of Pope Francis and that November, he attended the funeral of former vice president Dick Cheney. He also appeared at Tatiana Schlossberg’s funeral in January.
Fox News Digital has reached out to Biden’s office for comment.
