Brain Bleeds and Ca.cer That Spread to His Bones — Inside Joe Biden’s Health History
Joe Biden’s health struggles span decades, beginning with a life-threatening brain aneurysm in 1988 that nearly ended his political career. Over the years, he has faced pulmonary embolisms, atrial fibrillation, skin cancer, and multiple COVID-19 infections. Despite these challenges, Biden maintained an active public life, though his 2024 debate performance raised concerns about his cognitive sharpness, leading to his withdrawal from the presidential race.
In May 2025, Biden was diagnosed with aggressive prostate cancer that had metastasized to his bones. Doctors noted the disease’s severity (Gleason score 9) but emphasized treatment options. Earlier in 2025, a visible hand bruise sparked online speculation, though the White House offered no explanation. Biden’s health journey—marked by resilience and scrutiny—continues to shape his legacy beyond politics.
