Scott Adams Reveals Terminal Cancer Diagnosis, Expresses Sympathy for Biden
The Dilbert creator shares his health struggles and connects with the former president’s battle.
Scott Adams, the renowned “Dilbert” cartoonist, disclosed on his podcast yesterday that he has been diagnosed with the same aggressive prostate cancer as former President Joseph R. Biden Jr., reporting that the disease has metastasized to his bones. Adams, who is 67, stated that his life expectancy could be measured in mere months, saying, “My life expectancy is maybe this summer.”
Despite his historical critique of Biden, Adams took a moment to express heartfelt sympathy for the former president during this difficult time, stating, “I’d like to extend my respect and compassion and sympathy for the ex-president and his family because they’re going to be going through an especially tough time. It’s a terrible disease — it’s going to get very painful for the president.”
The timeline of Adams's diagnosis remains unclear, but he felt compelled to speak out after Biden's public announcement regarding his own health struggles. Expressing a desire for his announcement to overshadow his own, Adams admitted that prior to this point, he had kept his cancer private in a bid to maintain a normal life. “Once you go public, you’re just the dying cancer guy,” he remarked.
Additionally, Adams shared his reluctance to reveal his condition due to concerns about the potentially harsh public scrutiny. “One of the things I’ve been watching is how terrible the public is,” he explained, noting that he had witnessed moments of cruelty directed toward Biden following the announcement of his diagnosis.
