Former President Joe Biden has successfully completed his current course of radiation therapy, as confirmed by a spokesperson in a statement to ABC News on Monday. At this time, it remains uncertain whether the former president will require any additional radiation treatments in the future.
A short video capturing this significant moment was shared on Ashley Biden's Instagram story. In the video, President Biden rings a bell, symbolizing the completion of his radiation therapy. The post was accompanied by the heartfelt caption: "Rung the bell! Thank you to the incredible doctors, nurses, and staff at Penn Medicine. We are so grateful!" This gesture highlights the support and care he received during his treatment.
On October 11, reports emerged indicating that Biden had been undergoing radiation therapy alongside hormone treatment. A source familiar with his medical situation mentioned that the former president began his radiation therapy a few weeks prior to the public announcement. In May, Biden's office revealed his diagnosis of prostate cancer, which has unfortunately metastasized to his bones. It was noted that although this form of cancer is aggressive, it appears to be hormone-sensitive, allowing for more effective management.
During an interaction with reporters in May, President Biden provided insight into his treatment plan. He explained, "It's all a matter of taking a pill, one particular pill, for the next six weeks and then another one." This transparency about his health journey has resonated with many, as it sheds light on the experiences of individuals battling cancer.
As the situation develops, the nation remains hopeful for President Biden's continued recovery and health. His journey serves as a reminder of the importance of regular health check-ups and early detection in managing serious health conditions like cancer.
