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.”

Keep fighting Scott! We’re behind you 110%.
Prayers up.

I get that for Scott. talking about what he’s going through is a catharsis, a way to vent, but it’s unfortunate he has no one within his household that he can open up to.
It sounds as though he is about ready for a good quality hospice.
On my daily prayer list, Scott.
He came up with “didn’t earn it” didn’t he?
Yes, he makes BlueSky racebots Furious with some of his pronouncements...
Hang in there, Scott! Every survivor’s story begins with “the doctors said that I would never…”
God does wonders Scott. Kneemail sent.
Prayers for total spontaneous remission.
It’s a capital crime that money is squandered on such as the Somali (and others) filth rather than dedicated to cancer research.
…Not to dismiss objective analysis from competent professionals. Only that I think they err on the side of the worst prognosis so that the patient is prepared for it.
Bless you Scott Adams. You have a life well lived. I have all the admiration in the universe for you.
I hope he surprises the doctors (they hope the same) and stays around for while.
ANOTHER COVID SHOT END OF LIFE STORY.
He didn’t sound like he was doing well during today’s podcast.
Unfortunately... probably true.
Does he know the Lord?
I hope and pray he does.
