Biden Seen at Wilmington Mass in First Outing Since Radiation Disclosure

His office says he is undergoing a five‑week radiation course alongside hormone therapy for hormone‑sensitive Stage 4 prostate cancer that has spread to his bones.

Overview

  • Joe Biden, 82, attended Saturday evening Mass at St. Joseph on the Brandywine in Wilmington in his first public sighting since the radiation phase of his treatment was disclosed.
  • Photographs showed him leaving the service walking slowly and holding onto a woman for support, as reported by the New York Post.
  • A noticeable scar above his right eye, described as from recent skin cancer surgery, was visible as he greeted parishioners outside the church.
  • He spoke briefly with attendees and departed without his wife, Jill Biden, according to the same report.
  • Biden’s team announced last week that he had begun a roughly five‑week course of radiation in addition to ongoing hormone therapy for a Gleason 9 prostate tumor with bone metastases.
