Former US President Joe Biden revealed on Sunday, November 8, that his prostate most cancers analysis has slowed him down.

He added that this implies he’ll solely have the ability to make restricted appearances to advertise his upcoming presidential memoir.

Biden, who introduced his most cancers analysis final 12 months after he left the White House, wrote on X that his medical doctors “continue to be encouraged” by how he’s responding to remedy, however he admitted “some days are better than others.

“While writing the book, I was diagnosed with cancer, a disease known all too well to millions of Americans and their families,” Biden, 83, wrote.

“Some days are better than others. It hasn’t stopped me. But sometimes it slows me down. What that means is, unfortunately, I won’t be able to do as many conversations about my book as I’d hoped. However, I’m hopeful the words on the page speak for themselves.”

His memoir, “Promise Me, America,” is slated for launch on Nov. 17.

“It covers my years as President. The challenges we faced, the decisions I made, and why I made them. It’s about who we are as a nation,” Biden mentioned.

“What we stand for. And America’s role in the world. More than anything, it’s about my faith in the American people and the great American experiment in self-governance and democracy.”

Last month, the forty sixth President delivered a “personal” message on his well being for Prostate Awareness Month, urging males to see their medical doctors for early detection.

“By the time we found it, it had already spread to my bones,” Biden wrote on social media. “When prostate cancer is caught early, the five-year survival is close to 100%.

“Their skill, dedication, and compassion mean so much. The radiation treatment from last fall worked as intended, and I continue to do the things I care about, like finishing my memoir,” he mentioned, thanking his medical employees.

Biden accomplished his remedy for stage 4 most cancers in October 2025. Hunter Biden described his father’s situation as “very debilitating.”

“The cancer has spread, metastasized into his bones and further,” Hunter mentioned in August. “It’s very painful, and it’s very debilitating in many respects.” 

Biden’s memoir comes months after former first woman Jill Biden launched her ebook, “A View from the East Wing,” in June.
