Joe Biden was diagnosed in May 2025, shortly after leaving office, with an aggressive form of prostate cancer — a Gleason score of 9 (Grade Group 5) — that had already metastasized to his bones, making it stage 4 and, per his doctors, incurable, though manageable with ongoing treatment. In an August 5, 2026 interview on SiriusXM's "Let's Talk Off Camera with Kelly Ripa," Jill Biden shared that in hindsight, Joe had been getting up to use the bathroom as often as seven times a night in the lead-up to his diagnosis — a symptom they'd raised with White House physicians beforehand without it leading to the eventual finding. She described the disease as something he'll "forever live with" now that it has spread to his bones, requiring testing and medication management every three months, but said he's "doing okay" and that the family has settled into an ongoing rhythm of care. The couple has spoken about the diagnosis in several interviews since it became public, generally framing it as a difficult but manageable chapter they're navigating together.
