Joe Biden says cancer treatment is ‘going really well’ as he unveils new memoir

  • Former President Joe Biden has given an update on his cancer treatment, saying it’s going well and thanking the public for their support.
  • "I’ve been spending a lot of time with my family. I’m dealing with a cancer diagnosis, been getting treatment, and it’s going really well. I want to thank all those who have offered their prayers and support and well-wishes,” Biden said. “It’s meant the world to me and to Jill."
  • He offered the update while announcing his new memoir titled Promise Me, America, scheduled for release on November 17. It will delve into his presidency and his decision to withdraw from the re-election race.
  • The memoir's release, occurring just two weeks after crucial midterm elections, may spark unease among Democrats who remain divided on Biden's legacy and prefer to keep the campaign focus on Donald Trump's record.
  • Biden plans to tour and give interviews to promote the book, amid his ongoing treatment for prostate cancer.
