Scott Adams, known for his work on the comic strip "Dilbert," revealed on his podcast this week that he has been diagnosed with the same aggressive form of prostate cancer as former President Joseph R. Biden Jr. He disclosed that the illness has significantly deteriorated, spreading to his bones, and estimates he may have only months left to live.
Reflecting on his condition, the 67-year-old Adams said, “My life expectancy is maybe this summer.” Despite being a supporter of President Trump and critical of Biden, Adams extended heartfelt sympathy to Biden, acknowledging the difficulties the former president and his family are likely facing due to the disease. “It’s a terrible disease — it’s going to get very painful for the president,” Adams remarked.
While he did not specify the timing of his diagnosis, Adams chose to open up about his illness following Biden's public announcement. He expressed that he had initially kept his condition private to maintain a sense of normalcy and to delay the inevitable public perception associated with being labeled as “the dying cancer guy.”
Adams also voiced apprehension over the potential negative attention he could receive online, similar to what he has noted Biden facing since his diagnosis was made public. “One of the things I’ve been watching is how terrible the public is,” he commented, indicating awareness of the cruelty that can often accompany public figures' health disclosures. His candidness serves both as an outpouring of empathy for Biden and a personal reflection on navigating the realities of his health journey.
