Former President Joe Biden will undergo radiation therapy to treat his aggressive form of prostate cancer.
A spokesperson for the politician announced on Saturday that the 82-year-old will undergo the treatment, as well as hormone therapy.
The radiation will last five weeks and the Democrat has already begun taking the hormone medication pill.
Ailing Biden announced his cancer, which had metastasized in his bones, in May. He was also treated for skin cancer last month and was seen with a large bandage on his forehead while making public appearances.
The May announcement came just one week after reports revealed that a 'small nodule' was found on Biden's prostate that needed 'further evaluation.'
'He was diagnosed with prostate cancer, characterized by a Gleason Score of 9 (Grade Group 5) with metastasis to the bone.'
