Biden announced a reduction in book events with readers
Former US President Joe Biden said that prostate cancer is preventing him from leading his usual life and carrying out his plans. Because of the illness, the 83-year-old politician has had to cut back on public appearances dedicated to the release of his memoir. He wrote about it on the social network X, as reported by Life.ru: «Some days are better than others. The illness has not stopped me, but sometimes it slows me down. Unfortunately, that means I will not be able to hold as many events dedicated to my book as I had hoped.»
Health condition and the family's reaction
At the same time, the former president emphasized that his doctors are pleased with how his body is responding to treatment, and he hopes the book will tell readers what he will not be able to share in person. Earlier, Hunter Biden admitted how hard it is for the family to watch their father's condition: according to him, he wishes his father complained more often about how he feels, since the illness causes him serious suffering, but his loved ones continue to support him.
