Former US President Joe Biden completed a round of radiotherapy on Monday to treat aggressive prostate cancer, his spokeswoman said.
The treatment lasted several weeks and, according to the spokeswoman, Biden is feeling "good," although his medical team has not yet said whether he will need further radiation.
Earlier this month, a spokesman for the former president said: "As part of his treatment plan for prostate cancer, President Biden is undergoing radiotherapy and hormone therapy."
NBC News, citing a source familiar with the matter, reported at the time that the treatment was expected to last five weeks. Biden, 82, was diagnosed with the cancer in May. A spokesman at the time said the disease was “Gleason score 9 (Grade Group 5) with bone metastases” and appeared to be “hormone-sensitive,” making it treatable.
After his initial diagnosis in the spring, Biden expressed his deep gratitude for the overwhelming support he received on social media.
"Cancer touches us all. Like many of you, Jill and I have learned that we are stronger in our broken parts," Biden wrote on the X platform, sharing a photo of himself, former first lady Jill Biden, and their cat, Willow.
