Scott Adams, the cartoonist “Dilbert”, who has turned into a right commentator on social media, has prostate cancer at stage 4-same aggressive diversity that President Biden’s office has just announced that there is.
Adams revealed his diagnosis on Monday morning as he discussed Biden at True Coffee with Scott Adams at True Coffee with Scott Adams.

“A big story of the day. You may have heard that Joe Biden has prostate cancer, but that’s not a good kind. It’s a bad look,” Adams said. “There is something you need to know about prostate cancer. If it is localized and has not left your prostate, it is 100% treatable. But if it leaves your prostate and spread to other parts of your body, in which case Joe Biden has it in your bones, it is 100% that is not treatable.”
It turns out that Adams first -hand is the knowledge of what Biden can expect as his illness progresses.
“Today is the day I decided I would take the opportunity … to announce my own,” he said about seven minutes on the show on Monday. “Some of you have already guessed, so this will not surprise you at all, but I have the same cancer that Joe Biden has. I also have prostate cancer, which also spread in my bones, but I had it longer than he had it.
“So my life expectancy is maybe this summer. I expect to check this domain this summer.”

Adams had already offered his “respect and compassion and compassion” to Biden and his family because he said, “They will go through a particularly difficult time. This is a terrible disease. It will become very painful.” He said he had chosen Monday to reveal his own diagnosis, as he hoped Biden’s attention would have the same cancer to lure some of the online attention.
At first, he kept his diagnosis a secret, he said, because he wanted to keep his life as normal as he could before he could before he became the “just dying cancer”.
He is no unknown to the online dispute, Adams said he expects to receive abuse of the digital arena, as, as he saw with Biden’s message, “People are really cruel. They are really bad.”
“People will say that this is because I have a treasurer.” But people will be really, really terrible. “

He was expecting his “enemies, in other words, people who are Democrats, most of all,” would come after him “quite difficult”, but said he was ready to handle it.
But Adams said he was dealing with terrible pain. He has been using a walker for months and seems to plan to take advantage of a California law that allows suicide assisted by a doctor for patients with terminal.
“I was actually an activist when California was considering it,” he explained. “In California, once you get to the point where you will definitely die, you are a terminal, there is a very civilized process where you can get the juice you drink, which makes you fall asleep and then you can … So you do this when the disease becomes unbearable. Now the disease is unbearable. I can say you.”
After going through his explanation and describes in detail the reasons why he has maintained his diagnosis from his listeners, Adams started in the news of the day by talking about topics, including practices for hiring practices in Harvard and in Chicago and the shortcomings in the “big, beautiful” budget bill, Republicans are running through the congress.
He was not cool with any of him – which sounded quite close to the normal Scott Adams.

On Sunday, former President Biden’s service issued a statement that says, “Last week, President Joe Biden was seen as a new finding of a prostate node after experiencing increasing urine symptoms. On Friday, he was diagnosed with prostate cancer.
He added: “Although this is a more aggressive form of the disease, the cancer seems hormone sensitive, which allows effective management. The president and his family are looking at the opportunities for treatment with their doctors.”
The results have improved in recent decades and patients may expect to live with metastatic prostate cancer for four or five years, said Matthew Smith of Massachusetts General Brigham Cancer in front of the Associated Press on Sunday. “It’s very treatable but not treatable,” he said.
