Joe Biden has completed radiation therapy for prostate cancer, a major step in his treatment. His daughter, Ashley, shared a video of him ringing the traditional bell at Penn Medicine, signaling the end of this phase. She thanked the medical team and praised her father’s courage.
The 82-year-old was diagnosed in May with an aggressive form of prostate cancer, marked by a Gleason score of 9 and bone metastasis. Doctors classified it as hormone-sensitive, allowing a combination of radiation and hormone therapy. Treatment lasted about five weeks.
A spokesperson said Biden is doing well, though it is unclear whether more therapy lies ahead. Earlier this month, Biden reflected on the support he and Jill received, noting how cancer affects many families. Despite the diagnosis, he stayed engaged, and his family said his determination never faded.
