Joe Biden seen publicly for first time since beginning radiation therapy for prostate cancer

A noticeably frail Joe Biden was seen in public for the first time since news broke that he is receiving  radiation therapy for prostate cancer — as he attended an evening Mass at St. Joseph on the Brandywine in Wilmington, Del. on Saturday.

The 82-year-old former president left the hour-long service, walking slowly and holding onto a woman for support.

A large scar above his right eye — the result of recent skin cancer surgery — was still visible as he greeted parishioners outside the church following the 50-minute Mass.

Biden, dressed in a dark suit, chatted quietly with several attendees for about 10 minutes before departing without his wife, Jill Biden, who did not accompany him to the service.

It marked his first public outing since it was disclosed last week that he had begun a five-week course of radiation and hormone therapy for Stage 4 prostate cancer that has spread to his bones.
