‘Dilbert’ Creator Scott Adams Predicts He Only Has Months To Live After Cancer Diagnosis

Scott Adams, the creator of the “Dilbert” comic strip, predicted that he will die sometime this summer after revealing a diagnosis for prostate cancer on Monday.

Adams announced his cancer diagnosis on his “Coffee with Scott Adams” show on Rumble. Adams said that he, like former President Joe Biden, has prostate cancer that has metastasized to the bone.

“I have the same cancer that Joe Biden has. I also have prostate cancer that has also spread to my bones,” said Adams. “My life expectancy is maybe this summer. I expect to be checking out from this domain sometime this summer.”

Scott Adams gives solid words of wisdom after revealing his cancer diagnosis.

“Now, I realized that for some of you, this is hitting you kind of hard because you’re hearing it for the first time. Weirdly, since it’s old news to me, I’ve just sort of processed it, so it just sort of is what it is,” he added.

Adams did not spare his listeners of the effect that the cancer was having on him, describing it as “really painful – like really, really painful.” He also explained that he waited so long to inform the public of his diagnosis because “once you go public, you’re just the dying cancer guy, and I didn’t want you to have to think about it, and I didn’t want to have to think about it.”

“I am unusually mentally tough. So, while this could be much worse, you know, for some people, I suppose, I’m handling it quite well,” Adams continued. “The pain is tough – I mean really tough – but the mental part, you know, I got that under control. And I can see in the comments that some of you are having a tough time with it. But remember, nothing lasts forever. Nothing lasts forever.”

Biden’s office revealed on Sunday that he has stage four prostate cancer. The statement from his office said the cancer is an “aggressive form” that has spread to his bones. The statement said Biden received the diagnosis on Friday, sparking some skepticism among doctors who said that an advanced stage of cancer should have been caught in tests much sooner for someone who was President of the United States just several months ago.

President Donald Trump said he was “surprised” by the diagnosis on Monday afternoon.

“I think it’s very sad, actually. I’m surprised that the public wasn’t notified a long time ago because to get to stage 9, that’s a long time,” said Trump.
