In a moving moment that quickly spread across social media, Ashley Biden shared a video from inside the hospital where her father, former President Joe Biden, has just completed a major phase of his cancer treatment. The 82-year-old was seen ringing the bell at Penn Medicine Radiation Oncology — a powerful symbol of hope and victory for patients finishing radiation therapy.
Ashley’s heartfelt post, shared with her nearly 29,000 Instagram followers, was filled with pride and gratitude. “Rung the bell! Thank you to the incredible doctors, nurses, and staff at Penn Medicine. We are so grateful!” she wrote. In another post, she added, “Dad has been so damn brave throughout his treatment.” Biden, who was diagnosed earlier this year with an aggressive but hormone-sensitive form of prostate cancer, remains optimistic, saying, “The prognosis is good… I feel good.” The world now joins Ashley in cheering for his continued recovery.
