Biden first announced his aggressive cancer back in May.

As his prostate cancer advances, former President Joe Biden is receiving radiation treatment for approximately five weeks, according to a story by The Daily Wire.
“As part of a treatment plan for prostate cancer, President Biden is currently undergoing radiation therapy and hormone treatment,” said a Biden spokesperson.
According to NBC News, Biden has been ingesting a pill form of hormone medication. But Biden’s team says the 82-year-old former President is “doing well.”
Back in May, Biden unveiled his aggressive cancer analysis, just months after he left office. At the time, it was reported that Biden had metastatic prostate cancer that had moved from the prostate all the way to his bones.
“Cancer touches us all,” Biden said on X, back in May. “Like so many of you, Jill and I have learned that we are strongest in broken places. Thank you for lifting us up with love and support.”

Still, the diagnosis brought well-wishes and prayers from all sides of the political spectrum, but it also raised questions — specifically, when did Biden insiders know about the cancer and how long did they wait to tell the public?
Ben Shapiro, the Daily Wire’s Editor Emeritus, said that prostate cancer is not a fast-moving cancer, and normally takes years to develop to the point of metastasis.
For years, critics questioned Biden’s mental fitness and the use of the “autopen” while he was serving as president. In June, President Donald Trump signed a memo ordering a probe into the case, unambiguously calling for Counsel to the President to look into whether aides inappropriately used an autopen for executive actions in a scheme to hide Biden’s health issues while in office.
The memo directs officials to determine if “certain individuals conspired to deceive the public about Biden’s mental state and unconstitutionally exercise the authorities and responsibilities of the President.”
Additionally, there’s a House Oversight Committee investigation into the matter.
