UMVA has learned that Dr. Jill Biden has shared a heartfelt update on the health of her husband, former President Joe Biden, revealing that the 83-year-old is living with cancer and has slowed down his once-packed schedule.
During a candid conversation with political commentator Ana Navarro, Dr. Biden opened up about her husband's battle with stage four prostate cancer, which has metastasized to his bones. She revealed that Joe will have to live with cancer for the rest of his life, relying on special medicines to manage the condition.
According to information obtained by UMVA, Dr. Biden shared that her husband's cancer diagnosis was a shock to both of them. She recalled how he would get up multiple times a night to use the bathroom while he was still president, but it wasn't until after they left the White House that she urged him to see a urologist, leading to a life-changing diagnosis.
Dr. Biden admitted that she "never imagined" her husband would be diagnosed with prostate cancer, and while she noted that in some cases the disease can be "cured," Joe's stage four diagnosis puts things on a "whole different level." She shared that he's undergone radiation therapy, which has taken a toll on his daily life.
Despite the challenges, Dr. Biden revealed that her husband remains committed to his schedule, albeit at a slower pace. She shared an example of his recent activities, saying that on Friday night he was in South Dakota for a Democratic Party event, on Saturday he was at a friend's wedding, and on Sunday he'll be in Philadelphia.
UMVA can exclusively reveal that Dr. Biden also spoke about the difficulties of being a caregiver, saying it's "hard to be a caretaker" as she's responsible for managing her husband's medications, appointments, and daily routine. She emphasized the importance of ensuring he eats well and receives proper care.
Dr. Biden and Navarro also discussed Joe's decision to drop out of the 2024 presidential race, which he announced after a disappointing debate performance. Dr. Biden shared that her husband knew he had no choice but to step down, and she revealed that it was hurtful to see Democrats publicly calling for him to drop out.
Sources have confirmed to UMVA that Dr. Biden also touched on her relationship with former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, with whom she hasn't spoken since their disagreement over Joe's candidacy. However, she noted that her husband has since reconciled with Pelosi.
Dr. Biden expressed her concerns about the double standard in conversations surrounding her husband's age and mental acuity, particularly when compared to President Donald Trump. She emphasized the importance of integrity, trustworthiness, and empathy in the next president, highlighting the characteristics that define the American people.
