Dilbert Creator Scott Adams Shares Prostate Cancer Diagnosis
Dilbert creator Scott Adams has opened up about a devastating health diagnosis. Speaking on his YouTube show, he shared that he's living with advanced prostate cancer. The creator also opens up about the emotional and physical toll of the condition.
Scott Adams, best known as the creator of the long-running Dilbert comic strip, has shared a personal and painful update about his health. During the May 19 episode of his YouTube show Real Coffee With Scott Adams, the creator announced that he has been diagnosed with advanced prostate cancer that has spread to his bones. Adams compared his condition to President Joe Biden's recent diagnosis. He said, 'I have the same cancer that Joe Biden has.'
Adams spoke openly about the seriousness of his illness, revealing that he may only have a few months left to live. He was candid about the toll the illness has taken on his daily life, describing the pain as 'intolerable' and explaining that he no longer experiences good days. The creator said, 'So, if you're wondering, 'Hey Scott, do you have any good days?' Nope, nope, every day is a nightmare and evening is even worse.'
Due to his symptoms, Adams has been using a walker and has stopped filming his evening YouTube series, Man Cave. He said, 'A lot of it was because I don't really function too well after the show. I'm always in pain. And pain moves around to different parts of my body.'
While the diagnosis may surprise some of his followers, Adams said he has mentally come to terms with his illness. 'I've just sort of processed it, so it just sort of is what it is.' Despite calling the experience 'really, really painful,' he acknowledged the time it gives him to say goodbye and prepare mentally.
Adams' announcement comes two years after his comic strip Dilbert was dropped from publications following backlash over racist comments he made in 2023.
