Beau Biden, the son of Vice President Joe Biden and the attorney general of Delaware, is being released from University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center in Houston after undergoing a “successful” medical procedure to rule out the possibility of cancer. “[Beau] is in great shape and is going to be discharged tomorrow and heading home to Delaware,” Joe Biden said in a statement on Wednesday. “He will follow up with his local physicians in the coming weeks.” Beau Biden, 44, was admitted to Northwestern Memorial Hospital in Chicago on August 14 after feeling weak and disoriented while driving back from a family vacation in Indiana. He was discharged the next day and then went to Philadelphia to consult with a family doctor. He had been recovering in Wilmington, Delaware, before traveling to Houston. Biden suffered a mild stroke in 2010.
