## Summary

Joe Biden says his cancer treatment is limiting the number of appearances he can make to promote his memoir, due out on 17 November. The former US president said he had hoped to hold more conversations about the book, but is hopeful its words will speak for themselves.

Biden, 83, said his doctors remain encouraged by his response to treatment, although some days are better than others. He was diagnosed with prostate cancer last year, after leaving the White House, while writing “Promise Me, America”.
