Scott Adams, the creator of the Dilbert comic strip, said on Thursday that his cancer prognosis has worsened, telling viewers that doctors have given him no expectation of recovery.
In a candid update, Adams said he spoke with his radiologist shortly before the New Year and was told the outlook was bleak. “I talked to my radiologist yesterday. He was working on the day before New Year’s and it’s all bad news,” Adams said.
“So the odds of me recovering are essentially zero,” he added. “I’ll give you any updates if that changes, but it won’t.”
Adams said doctors told him there is “no chance” he will regain feeling in his legs. He also disclosed additional complications affecting his heart and breathing. “I’ve got some ongoing heart failure, which is making it difficult to breathe sometimes during the day,” he said. “But at the moment I can breathe and I’m not in any pain.”
He warned viewers to prepare for rapid changes in the coming weeks. “You should prepare yourself that January will be probably a month of transition, one way or the other,” Adams said. “I haven’t made any decisions, but it was all bad news. No good news at all.”
“I will keep doing this as long as it makes sense, because I like doing it. It keeps me busy,” he said. “I have much bigger problems than the stuff I’m talking about in the news, but I’m so interested in what’s happening in the world that it’s very engaging.”

Has he ever mentioned a supportive family group or member? I hope he’s not along going through this.
I used to work with his brother, Dave, about 20 years ago, but I got the feeling that at that time, they weren’t too close.
cancer does suck.....but their ARE MIRACLES!! PRAY!
Prayers Up for Scott. So brave! I wish him a pain-free, peaceful ending - it’s all any of us can hope for. :(
Sign up for Hospice, Scott. They’ve got all the good drugs and the most awesome, caring people! We used them for my Step-Mom, my Dad and currently our neighbor is in the end stages of Prostate Cancer and is under their care.
Yeah - cancer sucks - and there’s WAY too much of it touching all of our lives these days!
He has his ‘death with dignity’ cocktail already to go. He had an interview with Jesse Lee Peterson three months ago that was very surreal.

“squandered on such as the Somali (and others) filth rather than dedicated to cancer research.”
But according to our liberal betters it will be some third world low IQ somali, Eritrean, or Congoleze that will cure cancer. BUT it has to be on our soil. It couldn’t possibly be in their wonderful utopias.
Scott is a freeper. He used to post here as Dilbert of San Diego.
Proof? Or are you just knee-jerking?
Scott Adams is right.
God bless him.
He sure is.

Yap, there is no cure. Remission is only temporary. Cancer always comes back. Worst part of cancer apart from the expense is horrible side effects of chemo, radiation and any other cancer drugs.
Yes it does.
If that's him, he's posting here today.

>> Scott, you have an army of prayer warriors. &etc
Well said. I align with your comment and in prayer for Scott Adams’ healing.
And President Lincoln.
Have also come across some hearsay for a salvation gift for President Kennedy.
