Former President Joe Biden completed a round of radiation therapy on Monday as part of his prostate cancer treatment, his spokesperson confirmed.

His daughter Ashley Biden posted a video to her Instagram Story showing Biden ringing the bell at Penn Medicine Radiation Oncology in Philadelphia, a personalized practice for cancer patients completing a significant portion of their treatment.

“Dad has been so brave throughout his treatment. Grateful,” Ashley Biden wrote on a family photo she posted on the social media platform.

Biden’s spokesman has not revealed whether the former president will need additional treatment for his cancer.

Biden’s office announced that he was diagnosed with an aggressive form of prostate cancer in May, about four months after leaving the White House, after “experiencing increasing urinary symptoms.” The former president was receiving radiation and hormone therapy as part of his treatment, his office previously said.

Biden, who will turn 83 next month, also underwent Mohs surgery to remove skin cancer lesions from his forehead earlier this year, his office confirmed in September.

Biden previously underwent surgery to remove a cancerous lesion from his chest in 2023, while still in office.

Biden has defended his decision to run for reelection in 2024 before succumbing to pressure to drop out of the race just months before Election Day, after his disastrous debate performance against now-President Donald Trump in June of that year fueled concerns about his age and fitness to serve another four-year term as commander in chief. However, the former president told “The View” that “there was nothing to support” those concerns.
